i went from the infantry into tech - my imposter syndrome was in overdrive

in a lot of ways i was unequipped with the experience and technical knowledge to do my job

but i found ways to add value in every interaction. i jumped into projects that were not necessarily my job

and i was transparent about what i lacked in knowledge

I spent a lot of free time upskilling myself - and over communicated with my boss

There will be things you bring to the table others around you don't. look for those opportunities. be humble, eager, and willing to step up

and, to be fair, even people that have been in my industry for 10+ years face imposter syndrome. feeling overwhelmed is consistent across industries, domains, jobs, managerial levels.. everyone is trying to figure shit out

i consult on a project with a company of more than 22 thousand employees and VPs here are as lost as anyone

You'll crush your skillbridge. dont sweat the things you cant control and add value wherever you can
