I don't think this will help tremendously, but don't feel frightened if there is nobody to mentor or push you. When I started fresh from college (although that is some kind of experience), I found myself in a small start-up with 4 people, one of which was my good friend, but we were not leaders, just executors. The owner was the business guy, with little technical knowledge. Nevertheless, we pushed on hard. Learned ourselves (each of us four had little overlap, we interfaced). And you know what, although I felt lost and disoriented, I learned a lot, in perspective. Partially because I was inexperienced, but everything we did was quality, I must say.

Some years after I got into a company where everyone was much more experienced, and with mentors and all that. You know what? I become a mentor to most of them in a matter of months... Don't know how it happened, but it turned out that I've proven more agile.

Now I'm in a much more experienced and serious company, and now I do have seniors than myself. That helps a bit by helping me differentiate valuable from invaluable knowledge. But again, if you don't push yourself, no body will instead of you.

I'm not that experienced, it was only 6 years since I graduated.
