Ep 384: Three Mentorship Archetypes to Accelerate Your Engineering Career With Priyanka Ganesh

How can you determine what kind of mentor will help you the most at each stage of your engineering career?

In this episode, Priyanka Ganesh, cloud software engineering manager at Intel, identifies three mentor archetypes that can help women and allies in STEM grow in distinct ways: the connector, the architect, and the visionary.

In discussion with host Sam East, Priyanka breaks down the characteristics of each archetype and shares how a connector helped raise her visibility, an architect taught her to prioritize the problems that mattered most, and a visionary challenged her to connect technical work to long-term impact.

Hear how to identify the gaps that are holding you back from advancing, how to find the right mentor for your unique career stage, and how to become a connector, architect, or visionary for someone else — even without a leadership title.
