My manager is great at what they do but doesn’t know how to mentor. I’m learning a ton about methods but nothing about career growth and its starting to show. How should I bridge the gap? Idk where to find a good mentor.

That honestly doesn't sound like much of a problem. If you're learning a ton about methods, you've got a good mentor. Getting into career growth is another subject, and some of that will be for you to learn on your own. If you want your manager to get into that, let them know. It's possible they'll have some insights to pass along if they're aware you are seeking them.

Most of the times your manager will not be your mentor

Find the people in the positions you want to be in and talk to them. You might get lucky, but it’ll probably take some time.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
