Something I often tell junior developers:

When you think your code is ready to review, ask yourself what you could improve in twenty minutes or a half hour. If you’ve been working on something all day or for days, nobody is going to notice an extra thirty minutes.

Also code reviews are a training method at some places. They’re trying to normalize style and you don’t know it yet. Take the feedback seriously, yes, but don’t panic about it.

How long has it been since they hired somebody else? Stable teams can have serious blind spots about both the level of knowledge required to become effective, and they often aren’t used to having their ideas challenged (even if it’s only different idioms in code).
