Got promoted eight months in and now I'm half convinced everyone's just waiting for me to mess up
#confidence#imposter-syndrome#promotion
Manager pushed for it, said I was doing the work already, just needed the title to match. Should feel good. Instead I reread my own PRs looking for the thing that's going to give it away. Nobody's said anything remotely close to that, this is entirely a me problem. Curious if this fades on its own or if I need to actually do something about it.

AnonymousAnon Eight months in is honestly still pretty fresh for that feeling to fade completely. For me it took actually messing something up in a small, recoverable way and watching nobody react like it was a big deal before the fear actually let up.
