Article is bad. But random thought: Fake it 'til you make it is a prime driver of wage differences between men and women. Many women I personally know have refused promotions and job offers because they don't feel ready, then complain that unfit men get the job. As if it's a mystery what happened.
This also goes for young people. Sometimes getting in over your head and failing is a totally positive opportunity. Imagine if you could get hired somewhere above your level at Google for just one month, and how much you could learn there. Then you can take all that knowledge to your next job. Plus your resume says Google on it. For a lot of people fresh out of college, that would be a big plus.
Don't be stupid, arrogance isn't helpful when it's something crucial like health care or safety inspections or your own education. But if it's a chance to make a few more bucks at your job, default to always take the chance when it's offered. Fortune favors the bold, and such.
