Hi! If you allow any feedback on here, I think it'd be helpful to add an "industry" filter. As a new job seeker - one of my top priorities is getting into the specific industry I want (mine is Fashion btw!) and thought it'd really help your users on here (being one of them!) :) Industry specific mentors would be so awesome because they'll know the ins and outs better than others not in their specific vertical.

Thank you all for your contributions and patience!
Apologies for the late update!
You'll now see on the revamped Learn page that we've made it easier to identify mentors based on their expertise and have additional filters such as by industry, country, level and even language.
We hope that this makes it easier for you to identify mentors who are a good fit for you 馃帀

It would be great if we could search for mentors by sector.
For example, I'm a UX designer at an agency, but just accepted an offer for a role at a financial institution, and I'd love to easily search for other ux and product people at banks/fintech companies/etc etc.

I also think this would be a great feature. AngelList is a good example of an industry filter.

This is a cool idea. Could target specifically to things like, Ecommerce, Fintech, B2B, Enterprise SaaS, B2C, etc.
I wonder if this should be something attached to the company experience, or the mentor itself. Many mentors will have had experience across different industries, so it's not exactly a 1:1 relationship.

Yes that would be great! When I was looking for a new job, I wanted to catchup with people working in different industries to know how it is.

Yes please! As a mentor this would be helpful too as sometimes folks will reach out to me who are looking for advice about fields I'm not familiar with.
