How to find a mentor? Is it even valuable to find a mentor.
Hey, I am 21 years old, and current postgraduate finance student at a target school in London. I was wondering if it is valuable to find a mentor and how should I or a person go about it in finding a mentor to gain advise on career progression and entering Investment Banking and related financial services. (Via Cold Emails/ LinkedIn - open to other ways too ofc)
Thanks again, and have a great day.
The best mentors are those found organically... keeping up with people you've networked with, old bosses / coworkers etc. It can definitely take time to develop those relationships as a young person. But just cold emailing asking people to mentor you is a weird approach
I think you should be networking with people to hear about their career and how they've approached things, not asking them to commit to mentoring you. A 20 minute phone call is all you are going to get from most people
