> and I always think, to be able to take right decisions, you need to have a lot of real life experiences

As a “junior” person, I generally agree with this. But not prescriptively, more like a rule of thumb.

Age and life experience are not exactly connected. A younger person could have more life experience than an older one, depending on the intensity and selection of their past experiences.

So although I agree that life experience often helps you be a better manager, and junior people often have less, I don’t think that fact justifies a prejudice.
