Is there anyone here who would like to be my mentor? Preferably someone who has worked for a bunch of different companies on the way up the ladder to Senior Architect or Development Director.
You might want to start by telling the potential mentor what you can offer in return. Otherwise, your post comes off as entitled and divorced from day-to-day reality.
Yeah - I don't think a mentor is going to fall for what you are describing here. It sounds pretty selfish.<p>What you want is a free teacher. That's not a mentor.<p>Answer the question "why should I volunteer my $200 hr time to help you?" If you have a good answer, I bet you get a mentor.<p>There are too many people wanting a lot of value for nothing.
