I haven't had this experience. In any group dynamic that lasts long enough, there's usually at least a few folks making self-deprecating jokes about their intelligence in comparison, or someone explicitly asking for advice "from the big brain" or something similar.
Humor is usually involved, but I'm assuming that's just a way to make a potentially socially risky observation in a more acceptable manner.
Recruiters / management are sometimes more comfortable making blunt assessments of intelligence / talent than peers. To an extent, that's part of their job, so never having gotten that feedback professionally would seem odd.
- anonreeeeplor 3y agoI personally hit a wall a long time ago and only started making progress when I began to hire coaches to offer neutral 3rd party feedback and are incentivized to actually help you. My experience is most people in highly competitive environments are peer competitors in some form . The VP above you doesn’t want you to rise and take their job. Your peers don’t want to be surpassed. Everyone wants to keep you in a certain box. If you are able to jump completely out of the box ahead of everyone by 10 miles, no one is going to want that. You will only get negative feedback and told to stop. Or worse.
