1. Imposter syndrome - everyone is faking it to some degree
2. There are so many things in your complete control - being on time, being prepared, doing your hw, how hard you work, how much risk you will take
3. Exercise is the only thing proven to improve cognitive ability
Don’t focus on what you aren’t, focus on what you can actually do (and for the record, truly stupid people aren’t wondering about this)
Go get ‘em!
This gives me some hope and a different perspective to look at it.
I'll surely try and implement these things
Thanks :)
H1B let’s you work for a total of 6 yrs and unless you get sponsors for a green card you can’t work past that time. So pace yourself and focus on getting to the green card then hit all the goals you want. As for being dumb vs. smart, eh believe me it is good to be both.
EBay and others make some good points.
In addition, depending on the validity of feedback, it may be worthwhile taking these moments as opportunities to improve your technical or hard skills because that’s how you’ll truly grow.
Everyone starts somewhere. It’s just others have better support systems that allow them to thrive!
Big companies with lots of layers make you feel like a dumbass because they don’t give you much enough responsibility/ ownership/ room to run with things on your own and then they critique the most minor and insignificant things — lowering your confidence and making you feel like you can’t even do minor tasks well.
My career and subsequently my confidence took off as soon as I left that environment/JPMorgan. 2-3 years after leaving and feeling dumber than everyone & like I am constantly trying to hide things I don’t know, I now feel like the most capable and strongest in the room. You’ll get there too. The lessons you’re learning are valuable and will be valued later on. But whenever you leave, I recommend working for a small/smaller company where you can own things and run with them fully & if you are ambitious you’ll prove to yourself and others how capable you are and the impact you can drive when given the opportunity.
You’re already hired, ask all the questions you can now, show your drive and interest to learn. My lack of confidence was 60% of what held me back at my career start at JPMC. Trust yourself that you’re capable, work hard, and don’t let critiques on minor things question yourself—they give those to everybody. :) From experience, you’re capable and you’ll get there!!
