I'm 8 years into consulting and still sometimes feel like I'm faking it. Earlier this week, I didn't speak up in a strategy meeting even though I knew my approach was solid. But I didn't want to look stupid. Then a junior consultant said basically the same thing I thought about saying, and got praised. Does the imposter syndrome ever actually go away?

I retired from consulting last year and had that feeling most of my 27 years in the profession.

For people that strive to be one of the best, I don’t think you’ll ever feel like you know it all which is where the imposter syndrome comes from. Good to be cautious but you’ll need to speak up in the future. Otherwise, at some point someone will say, why is he here if he’s not contributing. Just think about how you could word it so you’re covered even if it’s a little off.
