New first year here (aka started three weeks ago) and my senior that I’ve been working with primarily has been so, so nice. I even messed something up (not a huge deal, but definitely still an inconvenience) and she just said no worries, we will figure it out that’s my bad for missing it when reviewing. Just wanted to express a general appreciation for everyone who is patient with juniors like me. Anything I can do (other than saying thanks) to express appreciation for all the help?
Pro
Treat your juniors the same when you’re the senior. Learn from your mistakes. Thank your senior for being gracious and helpful occasionally. You’re doing just fine.
I would also tell her that was really cool of you, and I really appreciate it!
The best appreciation is to learn from it and incorporate it into your practice to keep improving, IMO. I don’t mind occasional mistakes and taking the time to give feedback, of course there’s going to be mistakes, what I mind more is having to fix the same kind of mistake over and over where I feel like my feedback is just going into a void and I should stop trying to train.
Glad you are having a good experience!
