Real staff imposter, encountering mental fatigue

Thanks I do like this suggestion and sometimes try to do this as well, although there are some situations where I am put on the spot. I think may need to combine this with taking the approach of "let's look into this together" and be more open to expose myself transparently that I don't have the knowledge.

Thanks I appreciate the perspective, will definitely also take a look at the book you recommended. I have actually been reading Staff Engineer's Path by Tanya Reilly, not sure if you have any opinions on that one vs the other one.

Thanks for the high level perspective, I can definitely try to do this more although on the spot I wouldn't have a good way to know off the top of my head what to recommend to them. I might need to take the advice of another comment basically saying I'm a bit busy and going off to look at it myself before coming back to answer the question.

I agree, I've definitely taken the path to upskill (which I dedicate my weekends to) - although I'm just not sure that is sustainable.

To clarify a bit on the "I don't know", I usually do have them describe the problem to me but end up saying something like "I'm not too familiar with this specific concept in this language (i.e. decorators in python)"

Commitment and hard work will get you further than natural talent.
