> This has often led to some of the most productive conversations of my career.

Same! Often the conversations I've learned the most from are about topics I already think I know a fair amount about but someone mentions some seemingly tiny detail that ends up changing everything. These conversations tend to stick with you long after they're held, as you have to keep updating so many other beliefs lol

Which is to say, collaboration is an incredible tool. You have a lot to gain by knowing others know more than you about certain subjects. This can even come from a very junior person. It's less common, but sometimes they ask a question that they often think are dumb but throws a wrench in everything. (Juniors, speak up. Worst case seniors should use those as teaching moments. Best case, you look like a genius. If seniors get mad, start applying elsewhere (unless you really are holding up a lot of conversations))
