Do you feel need of Mentors from your area of interest??

Its been 3 years working in tech for me. There has been so much learning thanks to the great peers i had the chance to work with but I have this constant feeling that there is much more to learn and I might not be using my time effectively. I know there are video courses or playlists on youtube but after a stressful day of work it become tedious to sit through another video just blabbering stuff which stops making sense post 5 minutes. How do software engineers continue their learning journey without being burdened? Is one on one mentoring useful for such cases if money can be used for sense of commitment?

How does one have a career guidance mentor? Not for teaching the concepts but as a mentor who is approachable and can advice on career growth?

What is that one piece of advice you’d give your younger self or someone who’s starting off now after working for a few years. Mine would be that despite the hunger to prove yourself always take the time off to enjoy your success both personally and with people close to you. Time is something you’ll never get back.

Hey Guys, I am a Data Engineer, working in analytics at a big 4 firm, with about 2yrs experience. Need a mentor to guide me, stuck in a job paying me below average salaries and I am quite unsure of what to do in my life. Please help.

I really need a mentor who could guide me for my job hunting. I've applied through job boards, no luck. I don't know how to get referral. Please help me if you could.

I'm an associate product developer with over 3 years of experience. I previously worked with Java, Spring Boot, and Docker but left due to a poor work culture. For the past 2 years, I've been with my current organization, but the technology stack here is outdated, and I was misled about working on Java. I don't see growth opportunities and feel disconnected from modern technologies. How can I prepare to switch to roles involving Java and Spring Boot?

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).

After completing engineering I got a full time job opportunity in a logistic company as a business analyst. At the start everything was good but slowly I was pushed in the non technical department. Right now my majority of work consists of people's management. There is no technical aspect left in my job role and neither am I learning anything. After spending 02 years in the company I learned nothing. After realising my mistake I started learning SQL and then I've planned to learn Tableau as I have an inclination towards Data Analytics but due to my toxic job I can't focus on things. Also I can't leave the current job as I am having the responsibilities of my family. Seeing my friends succeeding in their job really makes me anxious. Also I can't apply for jobs in service based companies like TCS, Wipro, Accenture etc. as I'm having 4 years educational gap after class 10 due to financial issues. My father lost his job so I was helping my father who was working in a local groceries shop during that time.

Don't focus only on the compensation part only. Learning is very important. If you don't know how to have a mentor... Today you are getting paid for how well you code but now AI can code the best way.. Do in future it's not about how well you code it's about how well you solve use cases with balancing the business need.. This skill can't be learned by any course out there. It's you who has to put in effort.. So invest your money & time on these aspects. Need any guidance talk to mentors outside of your companies/ colleagues
