It is only now in my early thirty's and after a couple of really tough years at work, do I recognize the benefit and need for a mentor. I do not think I have ever had one really, only 'okay' male bosses. As the only woman in my company (for 5+ years now) I'm not even sure how I can find a 'mentor' outside of my company or if that is even a thing? I see that my more 'successful' friends have had female bosses they rave about or appointed mentors at each level of their career. Any advice?

Not a hiring manager but anecdotally I’d say the great resignation has resulted in such an active job market that you could definitely find something! My background is kinda similar to yours, albeit US based, and I have been getting a truly bonkers amount of inbounds the last year. I also have lots of friends in biz/ops roles in tech who’ve made job moves during pandemic.
From my experience NYC tech tends to be really about connections so you would probably have the best shot if you leverage anyone in your network that has NYC ties or do some proactive networking to meet folks, intro yourself, and share what you’re looking for.
Def check out BuiltinNYC job board and AngelList (not sure if y’all use those in EU/UK as much as we do?).
Most early stage startups won’t have authorization to hire you (unless you have dual US citizenship?) but look to international ones with NYC offices (we have a ton of Israeli startups here, and I’ve seen more Dutch ones lately?) and also big tech - they have crazy good immigration lawyers on retainer that make the process smooth.
Yeah I’ve been studying the visas etc for a few months now hence why I know I’m up for a challenge! Luckily I’m spanish so it’s definitely “easier” than being british BUT i also have undefinitely right to stay in the UK, so I can try both ways.
I’m contacting hiring managers basically in all FAANG companies and currently going through a process in a spanish start up with presence in NYC - so let’s see!
If by any chance you have any leads as to how to network from the distance to get more american peers that could make intros to lead roles would be incredible!
Thank you so so much 🙏🏻
Hiring manager here, I’m curious where you read that companies are considering overseas candidates for non-tech roles.
Hola! Oh I haven’t read it anywhere, I was actually just asking if companies were considering!
From researching (mostly on Linkedin, Levels and Blind) I can see that for most FAANG and big companies, tech roles are vastly sourced overseas and visas are considered in most of the cases - but I’m precisely missing the info for the non-tech roles.
