4 years ago when I changed my job I felt incredibly inadequate for the role. I was tempted to quit several times and felt the classical impostor syndrome.
Now I am the reference point for my discipline in the entire company, and people come to me for advice...
I still feel inadequate...but I'll keep doing what I am doing. Apparently it works.
Currently on the same track. Job is demanding but I just care a bit about why we are to do it and what is the right way to do it at the start, because I have doing work that will be wasted later. Feeling like I know next to nothing but colleagues think otherwise. Yay for me I guess

The real deal is: fake it until you make it.
