I’ve had a very tough time finding my first position as a junior dev and have been looking into getting a paid mentor to help me out. Someone who can give me a specific, clear idea of what skills I might need to have, refine, etc, as well as some looser guidance and direction after losing my confidence.
Do any of you have experience with services like this? Somewhere like Mentor Cruise or something similar?
If you have some questions why not post here? I’m unfamiliar with “services” (places that charge their own fees on top of what the mentor gets) and think it’s probably better to engage someone directly. The thing is, doing it as a business proposition sounds expensive if you’re paying with personal funds. Consulting rates for someone good will be pretty steep.
What are you good at now? What do you want to get better at? What kind of work do you want to do?
