By acknowledging you are an imposter
Consultants bring this up a lot. In what universe someone with 2-5 YOE qualified to advise CEOs or even mid level execs? Lol
So accept it and understand you are hired because of your company’s brand name and you are suppose to re-use all the frameworks they have built. As well as similar work that was done at other places.
By acknowledging that this is only a job and you’ll get another and everyone is faking it
It’s just a job bro/sis
Not your identity, not your life, not your intelligence
Just a freaking job
We are trained by society to be really on all the time and grind hard and be the smartest. However I am on a campaign to tell ppl to “careless”
Care less about that stuff
Care more about self improvement and family

I have never battled imposter syndrome myself. I have felt like I am not good enough but that was because I wasn’t good enough lol. I feel like I have always had a fairly realistic view on my skill set.

Whenever I feel like I'm not up to the job I just consciously remind myself that I do indeed know what I'm doing. All it takes, really, is to think of a few things I did that went well and constituted solid work. Just a reminder that I'm not inept and an imposter somehow fooling people.
