Do you find this to be one of the more rewarding parts of your career / day-to-day?
One of the things I regret most about my time in grad school is not mentoring younger students / interns. I was only frantically trying to prove how great I was (to salvage my downtrodden ego). I definitely don't want to avoid such mentoring opportunities in the future (once I finally work my way into such a position).
Yes, I did find it rewarding, and latterly, more rewarding than many of my interactions with customers or managers. Especially when I learned things from the younger people.
