At what stage does imposter syndrome stop taking over? I’m a 6th year and I was just starting to feel like I had a handle on my role and my job responsibilities/expectations. Then reviews come and I’m back to feeling like I have no idea what I’m doing. Any others feeling the same way?

Definitely recognisable, but it’s better to try and stop working in fear but acting in self-confidence (you’ve been doing it for six years, with good reviews — why doubt?)

I work with an white male equity partner that experiences imposter syndrome, in part because he came from a TTT school. It’s a pretty common thing at all levels, and it’s not at all limited to just women and POC.

I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter for a remote Sr. Program Manager role. I took and passed the assessment and was moved to the hiring manager round which was scheduled for tomorrow. I got an email tonight saying that the Director of the group decided that the person must be in Seattle. I am in Austin, which is not an option. I’m disappointed! The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?
