I've felt inadequate throughout most of my early career. That's how I know that the confidence I have today is well deserved. I've never had impostor syndrome though. To have impostor syndrome, you have to be given opportunities which are significantly above what you deserve. I did get a few opportunities in my early career which were slightly above my capabilities but not enough to make me feel like an impostor. In the past few years, all opportunities I've been given have been below my capabilities. I know based on feedback from colleagues and others. For example, when I apply for jobs, employers often ask me "You've worked on all these amazing, challenging projects, why do you want to work on our boring project?" It's difficult to explain to them that I just need the money... They must think that with a resume like mine I should be in very high demand or a millionaire who doesn't need to work. I've worked for a successful e-learning startup, launched successful open source projects, worked for a YC-backed company, worked on a successful blockchain project. My resume looks excellent but it doesn't translate to opportunities for some reason.
