You're (Probably) Not Bad at Your Job: Impostor Syndrome and IT Work

Published:26 October 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

What is it about working in IT that can make us feel like everyone will ‘figure out’ we have no idea what we're doing? ‘Impostor syndrome’ refers to the belief that you are under-qualified or inadequate, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. In only seven minutes we'll examine the various ways impostor syndrome manifests itself and why is it so common in IT work. This will hopefully alleviate any feelings you may have of being a complete and total fraud. We're pretty sure we know what we're talking about...mostly.
