I do! Most days actually esp since I started a job two weeks ago that is more senior than my last role. I feel like everyone thinks I can do so much but I am unfo not believing in my own capabilities and as a result have been majorly stressing! I’m now thinking of this as a “stretch” exercise and an opportunity for me to learn and hone new skills! If you don’t take the leap you won’t ever learn and grow!

It's normal to feel that. You should always feel that as long as you care about doing your work well.

You should be worried the moment you think you are great. That would mean you stop paying attention to the rest of world outside your bubble and that is absolutely worse.

I am interested in moving to another state and realized that this state has one of the most restrictive reciprocity rules in the country. I've passed multiple bar exams. However, I won't get any credit for time I worked in CA because CA isn't reciprocal. I swore I'd never take another bar after taking CA - and now I have to take another exam if we move. I worked in big law in CA for two years and get no credit! Yet the exam has been waived for new grads for COVID. It sure limits our move.

I work in a start-up - and the founder keeps wanting to see design progress day by day and I feel like am rushed and not given time develop design concepts to their potential. And because of that, I am forced to show them where am at, and then they start nitpicking every little thing in the screens designed even though I myself haven't fully finalised them
And based on the comments I change directions and then they would be like oh sorry now I see what you meant then (continued in comments)
