Are there any scrum masters out there willing to take me on as a mentee? I recently received my CSM, but I know that is not enough to get a job. I am looking for someone to show me the ropes and help me apply what I learned in the CSM course so I can start applying for jobs within the next 6 months. I am currently a business development consultant dealing with enterprise accounts. I want to stay in tech but I HAVE to get out of sales. It’s just not for me. Thank you in advance!

In all honesty, seeking a mentor outside of your current workplace may not be the right move to get ramped up.
A CSM also has no value in “making” you a scrum master or enhancing your abilities. Think of it as reading an informative article rather than learning specific skills. There are soft skills involved that you can only learn by real life exposure. There is also no standard rigid format/process but rather a framework to be followed which can be different in one place compared to another.
The best move would be to observe scrum masters at your workplace and then reach out to those scrum masters with your questions etc. Being a business development consultant you can certainly also put your self in the scrum master path without a mentor. Business Analyst, Associate Project Manager etc etc

I'd be happy to at least get on a call and chat, to see how I can help. I using to be a Scrum Master, then Agile Coach, and transitioned to Product Management 3 years ago.

CSM is the first step in an entire cert path. Perhaps do the next cert and go a bit deeper and you'll be more ready
