Mentorship: A Passing Trend or Something More?

Mentorship: a passing trend or something more?

In one form or another, mentorship has always existed — it just started being called that at some point. That said, when it comes to DevOps and related disciplines like development, there are some particular nuances.

Today technology is evolving at a tremendous pace, far faster than even 20-30 years ago. While the foundational concepts can be clearly identified, there is a huge variety of accompanying areas that employers use in one way or another, and they want to see those on your resume too.

And whereas in the past you could train yourself on the fundamental techniques, today that is simply not enough. Of course, you can learn absolutely everything in theory even without courses, but in reality things look different. Among other things, there is a risk of getting lost in the weeds that bring you no benefit, or whose benefit isn't decisive. And even if you're lucky enough to pick the right direction, practical experience still won't build itself.

To avoid spending months and years on self-study that may turn out to be irrelevant by the time you finish, mentorship exists.

By pure chance, I too became a mentor several years ago. And not just a mentor, but a mentor with my own hands-on learning platform and a set of courses tailored as closely as possible to the realities of today's market. What's more, I have a hobby: I browse job postings, analyze the requirements, and adjust the curriculum accordingly.

Come join my mentorship program, I'll be glad to help!
