About this session

An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.

You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.

Your mentor

Let's meet up and see if we're a match! We can go over what you're hoping to get out of mentorship and discuss my approach to problem-solving and expected time commitment. If things look good, we can discuss what makes you tick and how I can make our meetings as valuable and interesting as possible.

I have spoken with Aaron, and we have set up a Career Strategy session. He has helped by sharing his knowledge and perspective, which best fits my situation. I have gained knowledge about when it is worthwhile to attend university. He also shared resources and a high-level plan for the next steps to find a new job opportunity. We have run out of time, as I had many questions, but Aaron was kind and answered all of them. Recommend him as an experienced developer who has deep knowledge of the industry and is open to sharing it”

Aaron did a great job with assessing my situation and planning an approach. He is very resourceful and intelligent. He has great amount experience of interviewing candidates. He aims teaching you to be independent rather than giving you a formula. He is also very quick to respond to my emails and messages.
