Started working at a tech company back in Feb as a Sr. SWE and I have had imposter syndrome from the beginning. The job is stretching me but sometimes I feel I am over my head and I feel that there is a skill set gap has anyone else felt this way and how have you addressed those skill set gaps? #burnout #depression #mentalhealth
not really because if you’re always sharpening your ideas in general one could find comfort at knowing they won’t suck forever
Always keeps learning, if you read a a great tech book during this periods it make you feel good. But besides that, pay attention to your peers, what are the other people of your rank doing that you aren’t?

I thinks its a fair statement to say people of all levels feel imposter syndrome. Its just that as a senior engineer you are better at recognizing and approaching it. It's recognizing that you will never read all 50 thousand lines of your teams code. It's knowing where your knowledge gaps are and approaching them in a formulaic and logical manner. It's proactively seeking help from others in an efficient manner when you need some knowledge. There's nothing wrong with feeling like an imposter at the end of the day it's the actions you take that separate the senior engineers from the novice ones.
