My worst day in this business is still better than my best day working construction to pay for college

I dunno, I still look fondly on my days in landscaping when I was fourteen.

I worked on the client side before-as a creative- and while the work/life balance was great, the people and the work were borrring. I found ad people to be the funniest, sharpest, most interesting and more on top of culture than any other coworkers. They're just really my people. Creative but realistic about wanting steady income.

Our group recently began a mentoring program - 1st through 5th years get paired up with 6th year+ associates or partners and are encouraged to meet up (virtually) at least a couple times a month. I've never really had a proper mentor before - they've always been super formal and fizzled out after 1-2 sessions. I think it'll be different this time since I've worked with this person a lot and they seem eager to start, but I don't know what to talk about. What are good topics/questions to discuss?
