I go further and wonder if anybody advertises themselves as mentor. I've seen requests, also on HN, "I'm looking for a mentor" but never seen an answer and never seen anybody saying they have a mentor. I mean it's a time investment for the mentor with no direct benefit. Am I overlooking something?

I've seen some people mention it in the past, but if their experiences doesn't match up to your own I'm not sure if it would work out very well.

Most instances I think people find mentors while at work.
