Frequently Asked Questions
What technical level is required?
3+ years production experience OR killer GitHub artifacts. You must be able to debug complex problems alone. If you've mentored before (even informally), that's a plus. We look for expertise + pedagogy.
How much time does it really take?
10h/week = viable part-time. 20h/week = optimal part-time (lifestyle + impact). 35h/week = full-time expert. Flexible: you set your calendar. Sessions 2× per week with your cohort.
Why only 30% acceptance?
Quality = our differentiation. Students pay premium, expect real experts. If you pass, you're in the top 30% and recognized as Elite.
Can I keep my full-time job?
Yes. 70% of mentors are part-time with a full-time job elsewhere. Ideal for side impact. Full-time = for confirmed freelancers/entrepreneurs.
