I think the most challenging thing for a JR Dev is to overcome your own critiques, learn how to feel valuable to the team, and develop a good scale to measure if you are doing well. What I have learned in 4 years of being a Dev is that SR. Dev's that have 10+ years of experience, still have days where they feel like a noob, and they make the same mistakes as I do, just not as often.
