Video Description:
In this video, I’m diving into why senior developers often refuse to mentor junior developers. If you’ve been struggling to find a mentor, it might be because of some common mistakes that are easy to fix but often overlooked. I’ll share five harsh truths that explain why senior devs aren’t jumping at the chance to help you—and, spoiler alert, it’s not just about them being too busy.

This isn’t about sugarcoating; I’m here to call out some real issues that might be holding you back, like not taking the initiative, showing inconsistent effort, and having unrealistic expectations. If you’re serious about growing as a developer, this video is for you. Let’s break down what it takes to truly earn mentorship and become the kind of developer others want to help.
