Comment by Mark on "5 Reasons Why You Should Find the Time for Mentoring"

From what I've seen so far, and I can't say I've seen it all, you're more likely to get a mentor in a startup and a manager in a regular company.

Also, mentoring is way more than just answering questions from time to time, it's helping one person grow. Mentoring is all about giving feedback, figuring out what they're good at, and bringing out the best in them. You don't necessarily need to mentor people at work, you can mentor people you've met somewhere else. There are a lot of mentorship programs which bring together people working in the same field.

I'd say Hashnode and Stack Overflow are communities that bring people with the same issues and questions together, while mentoring requires more direct contact with people.
