Hmmis thmm - mentors get paid? This is the first time I heard of this.
No they're not. Once again, I'm not using the right English word. You guessed it, I'm not a native speaker and my language shares so many words with English but with sometimes a subtle difference in the meaning. :-D Anyway, last year, we ended up with some money that has been shared among mentors. But it's unusual, and certainly not the rule. Sometimes it happens. Most of the time not. I mentored since 2013 and I think I received money once or twice, maybe. But for sure, I had fun doing it By the way, do you want to participate as a mentor this year? did it a couple of years ago and didn't get paid. I did get invited to
an "unconference" at google. It was kind of interesting to see the google campus. And I was very impressed with the quality of free food available seemingly on demand. I couldn't help but wonder if google employees are overweight.
Also - I was under the impression that ideas for projects and proposals came not from mentors but from applicants and that this was the basis for accepting/rejecting proposals.
Just curious about this.
