Moving into a team lead role. Have had multiple people stare very OBVIOUSLY questioning my placement and looking at me in confusion. As much as I tell myself not to let it affect me, it’s getting difficult. Any advice?

I wouldn't put too much stock into people's stares, or even their opinions and questioning. Don't let their own insecurity and biases bring you down. Just focus on proving them wrong.

Agree with Engineer 1. You wouldn’t be in that position if you didn’t deserve to be. You clearly have leadership qualities that someone saw and is encouraging you to hone by becoming a team lead.

Don't worry about what others think, you do what you feel is best for you. Good luck!

What they think about you is not your problem. You wouldn't be there if nobody saw your potential. What matters is the people who moved you to the position you are holding right now know that you deserved to be there. You don't need to please everybody so just do your own thing. Prove them wrong. Good luck.

Don't worry about it. You were placed in that position for a reason. Of course, it was assumed that you would have some questions, too, like anybody else. Just be open with your team; they will probably appreciate it and collaborate more with you.

I’m looking for a new job, working remotely, that doesn’t require a Bachelor’s. (I’m currently going back to school to get one, as I only have an Associate’s in Mathematics right now)
I had positions in private sector that allowed me to supplement having a degree with experience but not in public sector. I’ve seen coworkers get positions they aren’t able to do simply because they have a degree and then leave a mess for me to clean up but I’m not allowed to have the position. Any suggestions?
