    I Gave Away $0 Tech Mentorships... And Regretted It!

    John from Titan of Tech addresses a concerning trend observed on Reddit and LinkedIn, where individuals entering the cybersecurity and technology sectors believe they are entitled to free mentorship from more senior professionals. He argues against the notion that successful individuals are obligated to provide free guidance simply due to their position. The script outlines the reasons why this mindset is flawed, including the misconception that teaching or mentorship should not come at a cost, and the reality that many professionals already pay for training in various forms. Further, John shares personal experiences to illustrate that voluntary mentorship often goes unappreciated or unutilized, reinforcing his stance that true learning requires personal investment and engagement.
