Totally. Joining a new field is always tough, even if you have raw knowledge you still need to learn how it’s leveraged & exercised in the work world. That learning takes time, and will come with the years of experience
Listen & learn, contribute where you can, and in time you’ll understand the underlying mechanisms of how your industry works through experience
Always get with the senior guys and ask plenty of questions, see what they're into and ask to help them. You'll learn a lot in doing that and gain the respect and experience you want faster. Also remember if they are "messing" with you then they like you and you will learn a lot.
I definitely felt that way early on (and still do sometimes). The truth is, no one knows everything, even experienced engineers are always learning. Focus on getting really good at one thing at a time, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Confidence comes with time. What areas interest you most?
Really well said!
No one knows everything, if they portray they do they’re an arrogant asshat! Strive to learn what you can, try to focus on topics / interests where you can and keep an open mind, but never stop learning. What you’re expressing is commonly referred to as imposter syndrome and many professionals go through it.
Learn how to learn. You can never stop. Get used to it.
You just have to get in the game and get active. We often think we're not up to something, but in reality when we're thrown into position we'll be resourceful and figure things out. Just take each task as it comes, and you'll work your way through whatever the challenge is on that day.
One day at a time…thank you !
Yes, that is common amongst those who have served lengthy time in any technical field. That is because, in this business, technology changes with the weather, and one is expected (by most clients and customers) to know every aspect of it. Old and new technology.

1) Don’t stop learning. Don’t stop being curious. Practice at what you don’t know well; on GIT, CodePen, on W3C, in Notepad ++, on browser, in SQL, etc. Organize your bookmarks by language, device, etc. Curate that list over time. 2) Some things. that helped me most aren’t only math, but pushing myself to know topics in like certifications I don’t need to code back end so things show on different browsers and devices, but I test as many as I can possibly, because well technology fails at times. You learn a ton about mistakes, but like math it’s all about practice.
It takes time and there will be ups and downs. Just keep learning and don’t make the same mistakes twice
Keep that fire and hunger burning. You'll get there sooner than it seems as it doesn't take long to be knowledgeable but stay humble as there will still frequently be another in the room that knows more. My biggest advice is do NOT work for someone that doesn't value your ambition. Take your time to find the perfect fit before quitting though. I had that issue for my first few years where I had to "learn to chill" until I changed jobs where they feed and compensated me with as much work as I want. Should have made the change sooner.
Absolutely everyone experiences this, except for the egocentric individuals who believe they know everything and are experts in nothing. With over two decades of experience in the tech industry, I’ve never stopped learning. Stay relevant and ahead of the industry’s needs, not just your current company’s.
My recommendation is to understand your current employer’s current needs and strategy. Every company will have a period when they need or want specialists in specific fields. Deepen your knowledge of these areas during that time. Become the person sought after for their expertise. But don’t stop learning in other fields.
Then, when the economy or industry shifts, they may need a generalist who can manage across domains. At that point, shift your learning to focus on delivering value through quality work.
Don’t stop learning and stay informed about the industry’s future. Develop a learning path that keeps you relevant and employable.
Thank you all 😮💨
