Is IBO Career Coaching worth it?

I was approached by this career coaching company saying they could help me from the very start to when I land an internship (resume, cover letter, resumes, networking, etc.) and it costs $350.

I'm a little desperate for it because I'm a junior and I still haven't landed anything. I know 350 might not be a lot to some people but I would have to tutor over 40 hours to earn it.

Would you guys say it's a scam?

Thanks in advance!

Nah. I know how you feel though I'm not in IB at all but experienced something similar with a different industry. It's pretty appealing when you are the desperate person trying to get your foot in but that is also why it is so predatory/scummy.
