- rbrown 4y agoGreat question! The mentors get a lot of real experience and broaden their network in a way that directly improves their current jobs and future job prospects. So far, mentors use Merit to: - Learn or improve their people skills by helping people with real problems and challenges - Diversify their own network beyond folks at their job and existing referrals - Learn about real people and problems beyond their own Many of our mentors are senior individual contributors, who are interested in exploring management in a lightweight manner, or early managers who are looking to meet more folks and learn about more real-world scenarios. The experience of mentoring others directly helps them learn these skills and apply them to their real life. Hopefully this answers your question!
