Me all the time. I always wonder how I made manager level and feel like the other shoe will drop at some point, if not sooner than later. It helps to have your in charge who is your counselor and cares enough to walk
E through my worries. Like id say I didn’t do something well enough and he would explain how he saw that in his eyes. And he’d coach me through that. Is there anything in particular that triggers those kinds of thoughts with you? Or is it just general

I think it comes up as you look towards the promotion. How am I going to be expected to answer questions from people at my level when I’m at the higher up level? And then be responsible for signing off as a manager. Also when client facing, they look to us as if we have all the answers. And when they ask some good questions that I’m just like....nope! Got nothing! That’s when it also really hits
