Looking for a cloud engineering mentor: Vani's career change at 53
Vani, a taxi driver, is retraining for cloud engineering and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over three months.

I have worked as a taxi driver for 10 years, and I'm 53. After my children starting school, I decided to move into cloud engineering, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in New South Wales, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
Glad we found this place.

Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Vani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Good luck, Vani. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Alcalá de Henares
