The Unexpected Key Value Pair in Mentoring
Finding mentorship when beginning your professional journey can be hard, yet it is so vital to have this support to build confidence, and grow at each stage of the process. 5+ years ago, Sidney reached out to me on LinkedIn with questions about bootcamps. I was finishing my first year at Stitch Fix and from that first GoogleMeet call, we have now met nearly every month and followed and supported each other throughout our respective journeys in engineering. We have never worked together, and we’ve never met! Join us as we meet for the first time in person and talk about how vital our pairing has been!
