Ask HN: How to find a mentor as an experienced professional

Posted by badatusernames on Tuesday July 03, 2018 @12:52PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've been wondering how experienced people in their field find mentors late in their career. I assume it's easier to find a mentor as a junior as people tend to be willing to help grow new people in their field. I've been mentoring a few people over the last few years and those relationships just point out to myself that I lack the guidance of a mentor and should find one. I'm just not sure...

yeah I think it takes time to realize you need to actively develop these habits. I've been working remotely full time for 2 years and it wasn't until about a month ago that I realized that I wasn't exercising and doing the things I said I was going to do because I didn't prioritize them or make them a habit. I'm just as busy now with my work as I was when I was in an office, but during the day my office mates and I would take afternoon walks regardless. Also, I got a lot of steps in by walking to and from the office to where ever I parked my car (city jobs amiright...). So yeah, I've finally started a routine to go to the gym in the AM before work and/or go for runs/walks around my neighborhood at some point during the day.

tl;dr; you have to actively work to develop these habits because it's easy to just sit and work the entire day

Wow, it has been years since I've been to this site. Thank you!

I used to customize this ticketing system. It was Peregrine Service Center before HP bought it. And we had a George too. Ah... the memories
