I'm a young engineer and I've been experiencing a lot of trouble due to the ego, not mine, people ego...
My last "manager" had a horrible ego. It was a nightmare, I couldn't say anything without a fight...
I'm 24 so definitely understand that. I'm glad you quit when the situation wasn't positive for you. That's a hard choice and many struggle to make it. Not quitting, only keeps you unhappy and enables the other person to keep behaving badly.
Now I'm having some trouble with my workmate because they also have a big ego. "You're younger, I have the right solution", screw it, it's not true...
A big advice for people like this, please listen and let young people talk. They're a new fresh air in your team :)
I don't think you want this. Instead it should be "please listen and let everyone talk (no matter who they are)".
Yes for sure, in this situation it's the only possibility, after a good talk of course. It's hard to quit, but it's a very good move, I've a much much better life now :)

Yeah, that was my thought.
