I got asked if I was "the intern." Again. Even after pitching two ideas and working here for months. Feels like some people will never see you as more than junior. Have you every come across this? What subtle ways have you been underestimated at work?

If you work for a very large organization I suppose that can happen innocently. But if you're talking about people you've been working with, then it sounds like they're deliberately messing with you. My first instinct would be to shrug it off, but I can't say how serious the situation is. It could be someone goofing around or it could be something more sinister and demeaning.

Just reply with ‘Hey, I sure ain’t! Want to discuss (work thing)? My ext. is 123

I was a ‘junior’ for over 3 years, going from one place just to start at another with junior in my title- it felt like a curse. Just keep at it and soon someone will recognise you for your hard work not just a title
