How do I find myself a mentor at work?

College seniors, previous company's colleagues are the best bets. Your first manager who you no longer work with is another great bet.

The best mentors could be your Subject Matter experts, because they have a very indepth knowledge of the process and mostly majority of them are very humble.

I've always felt that a strong mentor relationship should be about more than work. Not in any way unprofessional, but what I mean is if you want to learn the most from a mentor, you should be able to get along with them and all outside of just mentor/mentee talking points. Look for chances to cultivate relationships with higher positioned people in your company and when something solidifies, approach them about being your mentor.

Anyone else feel obligated to take family/friend referrals to healthcare providers? My brother is a dentist and, in light of some work I need done, said "hey! Go to so-and-so at such-and-such. He's a friend and really great." And I'm sure he IS really great, but I love my dentist and don't feel a need to switch. But my brother has already told his friend to expect me.

Hi Boss Ladies!
I’m 32, and on the fast track to senior leadership positions w/in Investment/Finance industry. I’m thinking about getting a career coach as a sounding board to navigate the next leg (MD/EVP to Partner) in this highly competitive, very male dominated field. Has anyone here hired a career coach? Pros? Cons? What were the biggest questions you were hoping to discuss? Anyone that you would recommend? (I’m located in Boston, but very open to a virtual coach)

im 10 weeks into my contract as a PO at a large satelline/wireless provider (synonym: plate) and the company has offered to bring me on as an internal employee.

currently i am hourly contractor at a rate of $50/hr + 2k sign on

the salaried offer is for 104k ( $52/hr)/ no bonus

problem here is that i work 48-52hrs/wk & get paid overtime, so taking this offer would actually be a paycut by about $250-300/wk

how / what should i negotiate as a fair compensation package

What I’m confused on is how to interpret things and where to do my investing. i.e. I’ve seen multiple posts Discord about investing in KDA, so looked it up, it’s very difficult to invest in if in US. The only app I found was KuCoin. 2nd i.e. is the whole Luna thing, ppl say invest in the next 2.0 or wait for some new symbol. I’m so confused on this part.
