Aren't those of us born in 1980 (+/- a year or so) millennials?
I'm about the same age (38) and I guess I count myself as a millennial. I'm certainly considered a millennial by everyone older than me. I'd always heard the cutoff between Gen X and millennial was 1975, but now that I search I'm seeing '82 or '83 a lot. That doesn't fit with how I typically see the term used, though.
That having been said, I feel like there were plenty of mentorship programs when I was first starting my career, but I haven't worked for too many pure software companies. It may have been very different in actual tech companies. The more traditional corporations I've worked in tend to be big on formal mentorship programs.
- Izkata 7y agoMillennials were born early 80s to late 90s. The exact years depend on who you ask and are a bit fiddly anyway depending on how you interpret the phrase "was a teenager during the 'new millennium' (decade).". (For example, does pre-teen count, did the millennium start in 2000 or 2001, etc)
