What about gender bias?
It’s no secret that young men have more mentors than young women. Many men in corporate positions are concerned about taking on a young woman as a mentee for fear of what people will say about their relationship. You can circumvent this by having meetings with them in public places, keeping the relationship professional and open. Although we should not give much weight to what others think of us, it is always a concern and can cause issues down the line.
As I mentioned before, I have two women and one man as my mentors. This balance is ideal for my personality and what I want to achieve in the industry.
