What have you done when you haven’t gotten the mentorship or experience you thought you’d get from a role? My last role didn’t provide me with what I think I need to succeed . I use Coursera, GitHub repos , etc and am considering a Masters but feel a huge mentorship void for my career ( previous manager / colleagues were non-tech/ non-analyst roles ) . Any advice is appreciated!

Find a mentor?

Trading deliverables for mentorship is an awesome idea - thanks SM 1!

As a first step to this (and well , nearly everything) is gathering info and advice. Is a great suggestion and could not agree more that you have to actively seek out mentorship ! I just don’t have a firm starting point given that I don’t have other analysts in my immediate environment to turn to . Might give your approach a try with different teams in a way that doesn’t interrupt work, etc.

Thanks again !

Network with people in your industry, alumni from your college, professionals in your area etc

Be creative and expand your channels! Just look for anything to connect over
