    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.
