Anyone else feel like an idiot all the time….. ??? I’m 3 years in and leading my first project and just feel like everything is crumbling down around me. Makes me feel disheartened and not want to work and totally filled with anxiety about getting let go because I’m not doing so well.

Yes, that’s how you know you are doing your job. Projects are always high stress. One step at a time / deliverable / task a time is the way to go when you become like this

Honestly, the first time any of us do something isn't usually great. Can you think of another consultant who might have some ideas to share with you? It's ok to be honest and lean on others if they are available and trustworthy. Otherwise, I know there are coaches who work primarily with consultants. You might be able to find someone who specializes in supporting consultants specifically. They would understand your circumstances and feelings and be able to help guide you through them.

I’m a newer senior consultant as well and can tell you that I’ve definitely felt like this as I’ve seen a project go south real fast. You have to fight. It’s going to suck but you will get a hang of it and eventually catch back up. Being a project lead is all about becoming organized and staying level which comes with time.

Feel this hard. Was promoted to senior in May, but have been doing senior work since last July. It’s definitely uncomfortable at first and you’re going to doubt yourself at times along the way. But in the back of your mind, remember that if the people above you didn’t have faith in you, you wouldn’t be in that position in the first place. Second, you should totally feel comfortable communicating this to your higher up/counselor if your firm has a counselor/peer buddy program. Over communication > under communication.

Citius Tech. I asked for 30LPA. HR said it's not at all a problem.

Yesterday the HR replied that they can't match my expectation and thanks for applying.
