Yes. But people around me think I’m great so I often wonder if I have imposter syndrome - or if I’m just great at faking it ‘til I [hopefully] make it.

I feel the same way and have the exact same feedback from those around me. It sucks that I doubt myself on everything but I just can't get past it

OP that is so true. That said, realizing self worth is important then choosing a team that values you, supports you, makes you see the best of you and provides an overall support system. All of us are like budding plants in a garden and our teams and support systems that get the best out of us are the external factors that help us succeed. Every plant needs the best of the ecosystem to blossom!!

The whole point of consulting is to never feel good enough

I thought about it, crushed one review just to stroke my ego, and then rode into the sunset

Just kidding, pls fix

No

the client makes me feel this way.

All day every day

Depends on the day. Sometimes I’m dog water, others I am underpaid

Yup. Constantly.

Do you all write cover letters for job apps (where they require one) like how you would write an ‘our understanding’ section of a proposal to a client? I.e. some soulful understanding of the hiring firm’s place in the universe, reasoning of what their needs are to succeed and put them in a position of greatness etc, and why you are uniquely qualified?

Or just keep it simple?
