When did you realize that you made a move to another agency/position a little too soon? (talking as a junior in my previous agency and midlevel to my new one)

You’ll always feel uncomfortable when you shift to a new position. Just remember you were promoted/hired because you were capable of doing the job not because you already do. There is such a thing as promoted too quickly, but I would identify the skills you need to have to be successful in your position and build on what you think you’re not quite doing 100%. Imposter syndrome is a bitch, don’t let it cripple you. Good luck!!
