Do you have a mentor? If so, how’d you find them? How often do you connect with them?

I had one a while back but fell out of contact with him.

Would you be willing to be someone else’s professional mentor? Why or why not?

I’m on the fence about that one as I write this but if I did connect with someone truly willing to invest in the relationship and learning from experience, sure.

I don't have one. I'm not sure how I'd feel about mentoring someone else. On the one hand, I like the idea of being able to make a difference in someone else's life, but on the other, I know I'm plenty busy enough as is.

Im in the same boat. I’m not sure I could find the time, but something like quarterly meet ups and check ins is something I’m interested in.

I was lucky enough to have a mentor find me. We met on the first day of my first job, and they helped me immensely as I started by career. I have tried to turn around and mentor others because of them.

Do you still talk to your mentor? If so, how often? How did mentoring go for you and are you still active in that space?

Yes I have a really great mentor that I have had since I started in this role. In the beginning we connected weekly but as I became more familiar with the role we started connecting less as I didn't need as much guidance. My mentor has been extremely helpful in helping me to succeed in my current role.

Hi All,

Say you have an offer for Senior Test Engineer and SDET (not senior).
Compensation is same. Both the companies are good.

Given the narrowing boundaries between testing and dev, which position is better in the long run? I thought it'd be SDET.
But, I'd like to have expert/experienced opinion.
