I have always loved being a mentor but I don't go seek out people who want to be mentored. I let people come to me because that shows me they really want to learn and means there likely won't be any challenges as they just want to soak everything in.

Mentoring really should be driven by the mentee. It cannot be forced on people, they should want to be mentored and have an agenda on what they are looking to gain.

I will give advice if the other person seeks it out

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
