What could be some of the things that I should be asking my mentor as a software engineer? My mentor asks me how can she help me? And often I am clueless of what to ask?

What are the different areas in Software Engineering that I could pursue? What are the technical and managerial career paths for Software Engineers at this company? How do I improve as a Software Engineer to gain experience/knowledge that the Seniors have? What are the salaries like at this company for X roles? What is the average tenure of employees at this company? How long do Software Engineers stay at this company? How long do you think it could take for a promotion to a new role/position if you've proven you're able to take on that challenge? How do I bring up some ideas or new technologies that could possibly be used into our project if it seems to be a great fit? How can I get to know more people at this company so that I could make/keep connections? How often do you switch to other projects on your team or do you mostly just do 1-2 projects for months/years?
