    There is a big difference between mentoring and dealing with a 4 year difference in education and maturity.

      Maturity gap sounds more like a hiring miss on culture fit than an issue with mentoring. More of an org issue IMO. Their education level shouldn’t really matter if they have a good attitude and willingness to be coached.

        Yes, my original comment was about being irritated that that person was hired, and they were very much not willing to be coached or I would have been a lot more willing to help them.
