Interviewing for an engineering lead role and have major imposter syndrome. Anyone else go through this? How did you overcome this feeling? I'm a solid leader and engineer, not the best. I'm nervous that title of lead puts you on a pedestal above everyone else and thus expectations in your technical abilities are higher.

What type of company? The first 3-4 months after moving to tech I was researching and looking up everything for hours after each work day. I’d set my slack status to offline and just keep working. After things were easier and I understood the systems I worked on, I didn’t have to put in extra effort anymore

Always struggling with this and unfortunately theres no magic cure. Remind yourself of what makes you special and what crappy leads you’ve interacted with in the past. You don’t need to be (and will likely never be) THE best, you just need to be YOUR best :)
