Looking for a cybersecurity mentor: Cynthia's career change at 53
Seeking an experienced cybersecurity professional for guidance on the transition from stay-at-home parent.
Anywhere in the world1,093 views
I have worked as a stay-at-home parent for 12 years, and I'm 53. After the factory closing, I decided to move into cybersecurity, and I have completed a bootcamp.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in England, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Cynthia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Newport this morning.
Thanks for sharing this, Cynthia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Pune.
