What would you do in my situation?

I’m doing some mentoring on the side (volunteering) to help students break from academia to consulting.

While it’s largely fulfilling, there is one student who quit the mentorship program halfway because he was no longer interested in the career path, citing his own word: “your jobs will all be replaced by AI soon” 🤣. Fast forward couple months, he’s trying to reconnect and ask for help designing deck and case studies etc.

Would you offer to help or ghost?

So I sent some quick advice and suggested that he should consider re-enrolling the program if he needs more support. I got ghosted again and guess that’s it 🤣

Don’t help him if he re enrols that’s disrespectful
