“Mentor others Mentoring is about guiding someone, sharing your knowledge, and helping them grow. As a staff + engineer, you have plenty of experience which can help others grow faster. Mentoring doesn’t need to be formal, it can be as easy as offering to help new joiners get up to speed. By getting into the habit of helping others grow–while expecting nothing in return–you will improve your ability to teach and explain. If you keep mentoring and helping others over time, you’re likely to build up a reputation as someone whom senior-and-above engineers can seek out for advice.
