Speaking from a personal experience, novice network is just not a place I'd look to for any advice or etc. It's probably the worst when it should be a good place for beginners to ask for help or advice. I've used to be in it as a mentor, dealt with extreme toxicity in it and left it and never went back. Somewhat I agree most mentors I've seen are not suited to being a mentor but assuming every mentor is like that is invalid. I try to help anyone I can while showing a positive attitude. My advice? Stay out of novice network.
