I used to tell people this: "I suck at everything I do. I suck big time. But I suck less than everyone around me, so I'm the guy who solves the problems". If you are the guy who solves the problems, than that's the barometer by which to judge yourself. You are not an impostor. And if you are the problem solver, then it's great if you suck. It's a sign that things are ok with you. Because if you know in depth everything you work with it means you are not pushing your own boundaries. You are playing it safe, well within your comfort zone. It's ok to stay in the safe zone for a little while, but don't do it for long. The majority of the workers out there get to that safe zone after a few years of experience, and then stay there. Don't be one of them. Push yourself, keep becoming better, and keep the comp raises coming.
