They came back years later and thanked me or seeing their growth and advancement. I tend to me tore them as a person and leader not for the technical sides of the job. That will change from job to job, but leadership and soft skills are transferable and hard to learn.

I haven't mentored someone specifically other than help them integrate as a new employee. I have participated in a group mentorship where four of us learned about what our job roles were and what we did for the same company. That was a very cool experience because our company is huge and each person had a very different role.

One time and it was super rewarding after he sold his first project!

I participate as a mentor in the company program

Yes I have and i honestly loved it. It is really fun to watch someone grow and learn a role and feel like you were a tiny part of their success.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
