Mentorship… Is there a cutoff career stage for when you feel like you have to switch from searching for mentors of your own, to mentoring people coming up behind you?

That is a really good question. I feel like in a perfect world the majority of us could always be mentoring but also by the mentee in a sense. I have really enjoyed talking with people and giving advice or help when I can, but definitely feel like there are points still where I need that!

Personally, I’ve focused on being more of a mentor as I have moved up the ladder. That started when I began managing people in 2017. Since then I’ve been in the position to mentor both inside and outside my organization, especially when it comes to offering advice to friends in their careers.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience

Hey guys,
I am planning to startup. Planning to go very big.
The fundamental reason for any business to start is to earn profits if it's not a non-profit org. But, what if the business is owned by the consumers itself. And consumers become shareholders of the business.
1) People fund the business
2) People buy products from it
3) People share profits if there are some.
Goal of such business:
1) Not for profits
2) Increase employment in country
3) Make in India boost
