Why did you decide to mentor someone?
I was approached by one of the founders of the mentoring program. We used to work on CoderDojo sessions together through one of my previous roles. I was honoured by the invitation, excited by the idea and as soon as the program was launched I was glad to be a part of it.
Have you ever been mentored yourself?
I have had roles where I’ve had support from lead / senior developers where required but not so much prior to starting my career. There is career guidance you can get help with at university but I am not sure I took advantage of it myself.
