Ep16 - Imposter Syndrome: You're Not Alone

In this episode, we talk about Imposter Syndrome in the tech industry: You are not alone, we have all been there.We share our personal experiences with feeling inadequate despite objective competence, from struggles in early college to post-promotion anxiety at senior levels. The conversation explores what makes imposter syndrome particularly acute in tech, including rapidly changing technologies, ambiguous problems, and interview practices that can amplify self-doubt.We discuss strategies that have helped us, like acknowledging these feelings, allowing yourself to ask "dumb questions" in meetings, reframing accomplishments, and finding supportive management, but most importantly, talking openly about it.And imposter syndrome doesn't disappear with experience: it evolves and sometimes gets worse, which may not be a bad thing after all!
