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?

Mentoring may help but that is not a given. I personally have had no mentor at all, in my professional experience. Surely I am not the only one in that boat. Finding a good mentor is a very difficult thing to do.
Mentorship is definitely needed. I personally wasted 2 years due to lack of guidance and did same mistakes done my many before.
Yes ... Mentorship helps

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 ...
Which one matters: Skills or Experience?
Experience, and further the insights comes with multiple 'years of experience' only. On the other hand, 'skills' can be learnt.
Who would you give preference to? I've been naive enough to think...
