Mentors
Not a faculty. Members a step or two ahead of you who have sat the loop you are about to sit — and often run it from the other side.
There is no faculty page here yet
Most course sites open this page with a wall of headshots. The template this one is built on ships eight of them, complete with names and job titles, from its own demo content.
The community has not opened, so there are no mentors to show you, and putting invented faces on this page would tell you something false about what you are being offered. When there are real mentors they will be listed here with their own names and their own consent.
What follows is how mentoring is meant to work, so you can judge the idea rather than the photographs.
What a mentor is here
Someone a step ahead
Close enough to your level to remember what was hard, far enough ahead to know what comes next. A principal engineer of twenty years is often a worse mentor for a first senior loop than someone who passed one last quarter.
Not an instructor
The curriculum teaches. A mentor reviews: they look at the diagram you drew and tell you which part an interviewer will attack.
Matched on the loop, not the logo
What matters is whether they have sat the kind of round you are about to sit, not which company's badge is on their profile.
A session is a design review
You bring a system and a decision you are unsure about. They argue with it. That is the whole format.
