Hey I really feel for you. Please don’t disengage, fight hard to get mentored. Not sure what your org is like but ask to pair remotely if you can, ask to do code reviews over video call so you can talk through questions, ask your manager regularly to talk you through the trade offs involved in the decisions they are making, etc. If you hear about a weekly status call happening on some project, ask if you can be included “to learn.” Your goal is to first increase your situational awareness and understanding of the domain, because that is upstream of the technical trade offs. I think people graduating into this have to fight really hard for the mentorship and learning that would happen naturally 10 years ago. People like me who graduated 10-15 years ago and would now naturally be your mentors don’t realise this because we never faced it.
