A senior executive on LinkedIn asked whether or not BlueSteps is worth the membership fee. 

It’s a fair question for someone considering their own career strategy. Of course from our perspective, we believe absolutely yes. But thinking from the perspective of an executive-level professional, here’s why we feel strongly that a BlueSteps membership is a sound investment for a nominal fee.

Investing in services to help manage one’s finances or personal fitness is incredibly common. You likely have a gym membership. Maybe you do or have at least thought about seeking the services of a financial advisor. Why wouldn’t someone who has worked so hard to get where they are invest in their career in the same way? BlueSteps is a membership for your career.

A BlueSteps membership is structured to provide guidance to you no matter what stage of your career you find yourself—whether you are actively job seeking or focused on negotiating your next pay increase, we’ve got you covered. Owned and operated by the global Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC), BlueSteps combines the career intelligence of more than 16,000 executive recruiters in 70+ countries, all from top AESC member executive search firms. As a result, we are uniquely positioned to pass on to BlueSteps members exclusive intel on the global executive job market, what recruiters are looking for in senior hires across industries, and how you can best position yourself to attract new opportunities.
