As someone who spent quite a few year freelancing before getting employed, I had a hard time dealing with mentors and adjusting to the corporate world. Especially when those mentors were themselves still a bit inexperienced in their role.
I believe that a mentor relationship should be a two way street as I find that I learn best by teaching others but most people just want to have their ego stroked and feel attacked if you bring your own experience. The fact that I was able to solve most of my problems myself drove them mad.
So I had to learn bite my tongue and never argue or let them feel that I might know anything they don't.
