I’m going to be vulnerable for a moment.

I’m going through a separation. My divorce will be final in June.

I still have ~1 year left in my degree and the urgency to move forward in my career and in earnings has exponentially increased.

My brain is a cluttered mess right now and I need to focus now more than ever.

I need a mentor. I need someone to help me set a course and stick to it.

I don’t need it to be anything super rigid or involved, just someone who can help me realize/plan for my goals and be available for the occasional question or query.

If you think you can help, please reach out. I will be in your debt.

@THORp I would not be a good mentor but I went through a divorce in 2016 while transiting from IT to security.

Getting over a divorce *requires time* you will not be able to rush it, you will need a couple of years to get over it, take that into account.

Regarding infosec: if you have done IT, you have done security. Getting a degree is even better but don't doubt yourself, it's nothing really new. Start with a position/a client and go from there. You will screw up sometimes, everybody does, it's not that bad. Just start and it will be ok.

If it's any help, I was deeply down the first year. And I was remarried 3 years later and happy ever since, life has significantly improved for me.
