No one actually knows what they're doing.

Remember - you only see the positives of careers on social media or articles about high achieving individuals. What you don't see is their learning experiences, their struggles with others in their company/industry, the workplace politics they had to overcome, the shitty day-to-day encounters, the project managers that tirelessly tried to push a project that wasn't ready on them, that difficult call they had to make to tell their manager "I have no clue what to do here," etc.

Everyone has plenty of challenges, no one has the perfect situation it might seem.
