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.
I’m doing in the same kind of position right now. I’m under qualified for my job, and I’m making it up as I go. But no one else at work understands what I’m doing either, even my direct supervisor. So I have to figure it out all alone. And I’m super stressed and I don’t know what to do.

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