Female mentors from some of the worlds greatest companies, like:

Asking for a raise? Interviewing for a new job?
Whatever the career moment, talking to a mentor can help.

“Will you be my mentor?”

About half of professionals find themselves asking this question at some point. And with good reason: mentorship helps boost self-confidence, expand networks, and increase career satisfaction.

But finding the right mentor at the right moment in your career can be daunting. That’s why Fi911 has launched the LIFT micro-mentorship program for women in the finance, technology, and payments sectors. LIFT empowers mentees to decide how and when they need extra support.

Whatever the career moment, mentees can request a no-cost video chat with elite women from all corners of the industry to gain specific insights and actionable takeaways.
