Has anyone had luck with Americas Corporate Partners (ACP) pairing you with a mentor in the industry you're interested in?

They paired me with someone I didn't think would be a good match (not in my industry). Turned out she was perfect. She had me pull my acceptance of an offer I had made a week prior and ended up getting me an offer for almost 3 times more money.

Now I'm making 6 figures and blame it exclusively on my ACP mentor.

They tried pairing me with 2 goofballs. I refused them both. I went on their website and found 7 or 8 mentors I'd be cool with. They were able to connect me with one and it's been incredible. Don't settle! You have to realize the people working there are not too tier and that's ok

Veterati is pretty good

at first they tried to pair me with someone unrelated to the field I wanted to go into and I denied the connection and the second pick ended up being an incredible mentor and still a close friend. I’ve done the mentoring side now and had a few good matches. Definitely be an advocate for yourself in the process to ensure you get the right fit.

Had a great experience with ACP. Paired me with a top exec in an industry I was interested in.

Industry I'm interested in getting into some are scared to assist. Plus any real sources are in the underground or don't exist in my area.

What industry? Spying?

I have a TBI and am interested to learn more about ACP. Please enlighten me

This is the first time I'm hearing of this program. I wish I knew about it. Now I'm medically retired at 50, blind, and stuck below at salary of 57k unless I dropped my retirement (I'm physically not capable of doing that now that I'm handicapped with two cracks in my spine, and a list if medical issued).

To all the post-9/11 veterans, it’s a somber day that unites us all in the reason we fought. It’s easy to forget - especially with the younger generation having 9/11 be a history lesson rather than something they lived through. The waters became muddy with two wars and politicians, but you all stepped up and did your duty. Thank you all for your service, it’s an honor whether we crossed paths or not.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

Wondering when if anyone else felt similar and decided to pull back and do something more relaxing. What was the catalyst, what are you doing, and are you enjoying it?

I'd considered taking up a 9-5 somewhere but not sure if thatd wear off fast.
