**Imposter Syndrome**
This has prob come up a few times before but here goes: I'm a SME in a specific Salesforce platform and known for my problem-solving approach to even the most complex issues. Well respected and trusted. But the better I do / more people have faith in me, the more likely I am to second guess myself (and that spirals out of control) and make room for imposter syndrome to set in. Shouldn't it be the inverse? How common is imposter syndrome anyway?

Welcome to the club.

I learned a key approach watching a humble newbie, they just said “you know, I’m not sure, let me do some research and get back to you.” No one knows everything.

I definitely have IS, that’s for sure

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.
