Got offered a promotion to management, but terrified I'll fail and let down everyone who was counting on me to represent. Anyone overcome this?

I’ve never overcome it completely, you just become more confident in your skills. The fears will start to subside from mental strength and experience overtime. But they still pop up here and there, which is completely normal.

I don’t think it’s ever overcome. We’ve all had bad managers and none of us want to be that person to someone else. But use that energy to force yourself to get better, rather than hindering you from the opportunity as a whole.

I’m intrigued but I want to know 2 things:

2. Realistic market opportunity/opportunity to crush quota (obv dependent on many things)

Background: Currently making 95k/160k OTE at a boutique research and consulting firm. I’m happy but we’re extremely flat with little to no opp for promotion in the next 2+ years.
