That’s true in undergrad too.
I had an advisor who just didn’t have a skill in or desire to advise. I didn’t discover this until in my junior year he went on sabbatical and the professor in transitioned to was really amazing. I still communicate with him 20 years later and hear about intern candidates, etc.
It’s one of those areas you need to know about — it never occurred to me to ask about or really look into what an advisor relationship can or should be!
