Meander

Hello Product Hunt community! I’m Anna, co-founder at Meander. Over the past years, I've had hundreds of conversations with people who: - felt that they were stuck - thought that their efforts were underappreciated - wanted to urgently develop a certain skill - didn't understand how to get a promotion. Surprisingly, when I asked how they knew it was a problem, most didn't have an answer; they simply _assumed_. To be honest, I've made the same mistake myself, and more than once. I would sign up for a course thinking I had a skill gap, while in fact, I didn't - or the particular skill wasn't relevant to my goals. I'd feel frustrated about not growing in my role, not realizing I was actually making meaningful progress. I found an easy way to fix this: to understand where you stand, to feel less like an impostor, and to identify your strengths. And it is – through asking your network to share their observations with you. Your past and current peers, managers, reports, and mentors can be an incredible source of insight and information, and it's surprising how many people miss this opportunity to learn about themselves. At Meander, we decided to build for you an easy way to collect these insights and transform them into a meaningful list of actions aligned with your goals. We'd love it if you could give it a try and share your thoughts!

That's a great mentoring space, for real! I'm in love with how the Meander team organizes the mentoring process at all stages, from onboarding to finding mentors, publishing mentee' objectives, and doing mentor work at last!

Congrats on the launch!

Hey Product Hunt community! I'm Daria, designer of Meander right from the start. Our two-year journey has been filled with experimentation and learning. As someone smart once said, 'We don't know what we don't know yet,' and this rings so true! We often aren't aware of the gaps in our skills, what others perceive as our strengths, or how to become our best selves. We remain in the dark... until we ask. We've realized that accessible, clear, qualitative data from professionals who know us is crucial for career success, yet it's hard to find. I firmly believe that feedback is essential for developing skills, but gathering it can be challenging. People are busy, and providing structured, motivational feedback is no easy task. That's why we've ventured into the realm of career insights with Meander. Our goal? To lessen the stress of both giving and receiving data about our professional self. We're here to help you make informed, data-driven decisions about the skills you want to develop, the careers you aim to build, and the challenges you wish to overcome. Join us on this journey and feel free to share your feedback, thoughts, and insights!

Interesting, especially for those uncertain and looking to move horizontally for example. Have a great launch!

In the past I often found myself lacking feedback from the people around me. I always like to understand what I am doing well and what I can do to improve myself. That's why I'm very proud of the product we created and I hope that other people gain helpful insights for their career development from it. :)

Woah so It's like having a personalized career coach in your pocket?
