Did you have a great mentor in your professional life that made you who you are today?

How important is having a mentor in today's fast-paced work environment? Have you had success as a mentor or mentee?

Hey folks, I would like to know how many of you have a mentor. How has it helped you to shape your career and if you don't have any mentor then how do you seek guidance. I am currently seeking opportunities in the mid to senior role for PM (except edTech).

The goal is to understand who you go back to for discussions or questions etc apart from your job?Why did you choose your current mentor?

To make better professional and career related decisions, do you feel need of Mentors? And how do you get guidance currently?

1. Prepare for meetings one day before. 2. Think like you are the CEO of the project. 3. Choose your battles

All over LinkedIn when I see people thanking their mentors, I wonder where they get them. I mean I hardly had any interactions with any of my college seniors. And don't get me started on my office colleagues. ( They always seem to be in a bad mood). Coming to the point. I think having honest mentors can really help you fast track your developer career. Let's try to help each other out. I am a backend developer of 2 years. I can help you get 20 LPA. I want someone who can help me earn 30 LPA. PS - This is my first post.
