I can identify most of what you are saying from my position.
The lack of mentorship is a big issue I recognize it.
I have even tried to have remote ones but it's hard to maintain thoses relations.
Being a "Jack of all trade" is not even bad for companies but in the process of recruitment. A jack of all trade is not really trusted by companies. Companies prefer recruit you as an expert but work with you as a Jack that's kind a paradoxal.
Your answer describe well what I'm living. You understand so much my situation. Thank you for sharing this with me I did need it.
Yes indeed, I realized that one the most important skill in our profession is Problem solving.(if it is not the most important one). Being good at it, is the key, so in my case the lack of senior guide makes me take a lot of time to solve some problems and as in company with real customers this creates frustrations etc.
I also had that objective of staying in the company for 2 years. That 2 years last so long from time time depending on projects I have.
Being by my own, makes me realize also that I have to relearn many things seen, but the obstacle I face with that is that I don't aend anything I start, this may be a lack of discipline from me. But changing technologies from time to time is also a source of it.
PD: good to know my english can be understood, thank you.
