I had a brief meeting with my project partner for the first time yesterday morning. Half way though our conversation, he started asking me how long since I've graduated. It went like this:
Project partner: When did you graduated?
Me: That's been about 2.5 years since.
Project partner: Ohh, you look really young to handle this project. Is this your first job?
Me: nope, I was a banker with a bank before this. I came into the current company about 5 months ago.
Project partner: So how old are you?
Me: ... 25, going 26 this year.
Project partner: Ohh, that's very young of you.
Me: ........
Man! What the hack!! I don't know if I should take it as complement or he's just plain looking down on me just because I'm "too young" to handle this project.
Well, to many of you out there, being young doesn't mean I can't handle big project. Though this is my first and I may have no prior experience on it. But so what! This shall be my first experience!
