I have worked as a factory operator for 18 years, and I'm 26. After a health scare, I decided to move into software testing, 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 New York, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for six 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Thinking of New York.

      rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

      • Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Alejandra. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          • Good luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Limerick.
