It bothers me to no end when people are resistant to or too proud for advice from peers.

I am happy to learn from fellow entry-level consultants but find many times that is not reciprocated.

It totally depends on if I respect the peer giving me the advice. A lot of dip shits in this world at the peer level and otherwise. Don’t take advice for people who don’t display the behavior they are trying to coach you on

I have learned valuable things from analysts, managers, and partners alike.

I never understand people that aren't willing to learn from others.

Don’t walk around giving unsolicited advice to make a point that you’re the enlightened one who can improve others. First prove yourself.

It definitely depends on the execution. Ive many times admitted when a new hire associate/staff had an idea that was better than mine. Nonetheless, it has to be presented as input and be careful of it sounding like you’re saying your way is better - there is no better, just different (not true but helpful mindset in this situation!)

Is this accurate?
