Hey, I’m from Canada, and originally from London, UK

I’ve been in the tech sales industry for around 5 years now and am looking for a mentor to pick their mind in just experience, how they found progression, what they’d recommend and just a push as a whole

Is anyone interested in being a mentor at all?

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺
