Figure out what you want to do. Find someone who has done that, often 3-5 years ahead of you. Ask them to mentor you. Probably not "do you want to mentor me" but rather "how did you do x?" You should be pretty clear on what you want to do. The mentor tells you how they did it. They could be wrong. Find someone who is right. I once asked someone more junior to mentor me. He was like "bro you got it the wrong way around" He gave good advice nonetheless and we're still good friends. It's not a perfect process, but like dating, it's a two way market and the disadvantaged side has to move first. The mentor usually need someone a little more junior doing the same thing or they're connected to someone who asks them if they "know someone".
