When we look for advice from leaders in the sci-tech community about how people can further their careers, one key tip that keeps cropping up is to find a mentor.
But if you’ve never been in a mentoring relationship before, it can be hard to know what to expect.
That’s why SiliconRepublic.com spoke to Fidelity Investments’ Sharon Walsh and Padraig Mahony.
Walsh is vice-president of technology management at the company and also acts as mentor to Mahony, who is chapter leader of student debt, voice and stock plan services.
Their mentor-mentee relationship began about three years ago when Mahony interviewed for his current role.
He said the mentorship has helped him in a number of different ways. “I find that Sharon is very generous in sharing her experiences, both good and bad, at different junctures of her career,” he said.
