Has anyone experienced a transition to a new job (same type of job, new company) after spending nearly your entire career with a single company? How did you tackle the change?

I'm headed to a phenomenal opportunity I know I am qualified for and capable of undertaking, but the impost syndrome is hitting really hard right now.

Basically spent almost 2 decades at the same agency before jumping to an independent. Can’t say I felt imposter syndrome, more so was just freaked the fuq out. But I did my homework, knew it was an opportunity to put my mark on what I considered to be an agency that had all the right pieces in place to be great. You’ve put yourself in a position where you’re betting on yourself. Take a moment to recognize how cool that is and how much work you’ve done to position yourself for it. Then don’t look back, fully commit and do what you best. (Also, keep in mind, it’s gonna take at least 6 months to a year and a half to feel right). Godspeed.

I’ve been working as a management consultant for 3 years in London across a range of industries. For the last 1.5 yrs I’ve been internal environmental lead. I created our sustainability strategy, tracked carbon emissions, applied for B Corp, set up company campaigns and currently looking at SBTI. I think I’ve got enough experience to shift to a sustainability consultant role but my company hasn’t set up their sustainability practice yet. Any advice or where to apply? ☺️

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report. I will read it without actually reading it. This results in spending time without actually retaining info. Does this happen to anyone else? I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.
