Mentorship in Tech: Game-Changer or Overrated?

Hey folks,

Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention in tech: mentorship. We all know this industry can be overwhelming—learning curves that feel like mountains, imposter syndrome creeping in, and the constant pressure to keep up with new tools and trends. But the right mentor? They can be a cheat code. 🚀

I’ve seen people credit their mentors for landing dream jobs, navigating tricky office politics, or just figuring out what the heck they want to do with their careers. On the flip side, I’ve also heard folks say mentorship didn’t work out for them—or that they never had access to it at all.

So, I’m throwing this out to you:

1. What’s your take on mentorship in tech?
2. Do you have a story where a mentor made all the difference? Or maybe a time when you wished you had one?
3. And for those who are mentors, what’s been your biggest win or challenge?

Poll time! I’d love to hear where you stand:

Drop your vote, but don’t stop there—share your stories! Let’s make this thread a mini hub for mentorship tales and tips. Who knows, maybe someone finds their future mentor (or mentee) right here. 😉

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
