"Darren is a phenomenal mentor who has made me realize time and time again that while goals are great to have and wonderful tools to measure progress, the proof is in the process. Since my mentorship with Darren commenced, I've gradually and somewhat subconsciously began to look forward to the journey just as much- if not more- than the esteemed *destination.* Because I'm confident in the steps I'm taking, I find myself obsessing less about the end result and basking more in the here and now [*which is not to say that I don't have my "eye on the prize," but rather that new prizes have been introduced along the way]. In the span of a few short months, I've gained a level of confidence and self assurance that has allowed me to take risks and bet on myself. Case in point: last month, I made the decision to co-found a company because I believed so deeply in it's mission and my co-founders and realized that in this particular season of my life, I can afford to prioritize gaining the type of education that only being a founder can provide, and deprioritize consistency and financial predictability. While my priorities can and likely will change over the course of my career, the process through which I will make those major career (and life!) decisions will - at it's core - be roughly the same. I feel more empowered than ever to take on new challenges and embrace uncertainty and I can't recommend working with Darren enough! "

I look forward to continuing this mentorship alliance! "

"Diwakar is a Gem. He knows how to break down complex topics and help a beginner like me understand best practices, industry standards, and Go community conventions, which boosts a lot of confidence while writing the code. One more thing I liked about him was that as soon as Diwakar accepted mentorship, he tried to set up a call to learn more about me, which helped me understand how mentorship will progress. Thanks"

"I am attempting to advance my career and needed some direction on where to go. Nathan has helped me develop a learning plan and gain knowledge that my current position does not offer, so I am able to showcase those skills on my resume.

"I have been working with Dylan for a month and one week now. My initial goal was to jump to a new job where I could grow my skills. During our first meeting, we discussed salary expectations, my experience, and my goals for this year. Dylan told me right away that with the experience I had, I should be able to land a role within 2 weeks. Although this sounded impossible to me, given that it took me a month and a half to find a new role (when I tried to look for a job before), I took his word for it. We focused heavily on my LinkedIn, Resume etc.. in the first two weeks to highlight my experience and aptitudes. Then we transitioned to applying shortly after. Dylan truly gave me the confidence to go out there and get a new job. Literally within 2 weeks of applying and interviewing, I found a job that paid me 20% more than my current salary. He encouraged me to finish up the rest of the interviews that I had lined up; to see if I could receive a new offer and within a few days, I had 2 offers that provided over a 35% increase in my salary. Dylan provides results and he provides them fast. He is able to assess your skills and give you an estimate of where you can be so long as you put in the work. I will continue to work with Dylan because my next goal is to become a Senior Engineer. Most importantly because he is a real human being who cares about his mentees, his family, and the people around him. "

"Paul is a great mentor! I feel like other mentors preferred talking more about their own experiences than really trying to understand what would help YOU the most. That's definitely not the case with Paul. He really takes the time to assemble all the facts, asks the right questions and remembers even the smallest details that you told him. That way he provides really good advice tailored to your unique situation. I am always looking forward to our sessions!"

Even though Aly is 2 years younger than me, he has vast amounts of experience in writing decks, going to market, scaling businesses, and probably more.

Having gone through a couple of mentors here on Mentorcruise, I can confidently say that Aly is a true precious diamond amongst them. "
