I am desperately in need of a mentor because I am in my first ux/UI job where I don’t have any mentor to look up to. Any suggestions how can I make mentor online?

LinkedIn is pretty easy to find people in senior UX positions. Then contact them and ask the question. I have mentored designers in the past who applied for roles I was advertising but were not suitable at the time. I think the UX community is very open and everyone wants to help each other

I’m happy to help if you would like….

Hey, have to had a look at ADPList?

Have a look at ADPList for Design mentors

I also would be interested in this! I’ve been at a website building agency for almost 2 years but know little to nothing about the research side. I’ve just been told to find similar websites for inspiration and make it look modern and inviting. I can make something look good but am very uneducated on how to really find the root of the design problem.

I’ve gotten some value out of The Mom Test, by Rob Fitzpatrick, for user research. Nice quick read too

So let's say spy drops another 15-20% but anyway it will come back to those levels may be in a year or so. Why everyone is so anxious about drops. Granted valuations are outrageous and unsustainable but 5 trillion free money won't go back to feds like that. Also retail participation had gone so even retail is small they will try to buy dip wherever possible. Given all this background why do anyone have to worry about drops.

What’s wild about GME’s current valuation is that they can just issue equity and payoff all their debt now (recall this company was almost filing for bankruptcy)...
