I just got into a new engagement and I’ve been placed fully in charge of a work stream. In my previous engagement I felt super confident about my role and my work products and really eased into consulting. But now I’m struggling in my new role with imposter syndrome… Any tips?

It's expected. But look at this ways, folks with lots of experience (your leadership) have choosen you with real financial implications so they believe that you have the right experience and competency to do it. You will get comfortable about the work with time so don't worry. Just keep the belief in your self.

Sounds like you are more than capable to crush this role. I’m sure 1 year from now you will be posting the same question except how you crushed your workstream lead position but don’t think you’re ready to lead an entire engagement 😊. Best of luck! Remember, nobody ever knows exactly what to do all the time, just gotta figure some things out as you go

Why are there such different confidence levels for the two engagements? A bit more context?

I was very confident in the what and the how I was doing in the first engagement. This new engagement is products and processes that I haven’t been exposed to. So I feel like I’m learning while I have to also instruct a new senior to EY
