Hey bosses!
I'm looking for a mentor, I have a bit of story- traveled and country hopped for about 10 years before heading to uni and joining the Big4. I'm in my 30s now and don't know how to navigate the corporate world successfully. I have different goals/time lines than the 20 YOEs around me. I wish I had someone to answer my questions and guide me on the right way to handle situations. Anyone want/have time to connect? I don't want to do this alone anymore.
