    Allegedly the only way to get rid of imposter syndrome is to just… do your work/stuff until it goes away.

    I’ve been at the same job for 9 years, but I don’t feel any more capable than at the start. I still have no idea what I’m doing while being sure others are constantly judging me. Any day my manager will take me apart to put me on a PIP or outright fire me. I’ve “known” this for years, and I’m as convinced as ever that it will happen eventually, soon even.

      Yeah, I’m not sure if it ever goes away… I recently got invited to sit on the national licensing board for my field. I’m literally helping make the test to see if you’re an imposter, and I still feel like an imposter.

        You are in the perfect position to help your brothers out!

        This makes me think of those who design the US immigration forms.
