Why does it seem like STEM grads disproportionately suffer more from impostor syndrome while business grads seem to disproportionately suffer less?
- zwieback 13y agoProbably the nature of the work - it's easier to feel like an impostor if success is primarily defined by detailed knowledge of the field. I suspect that in the business field you can't succeed unless you're comfortable portraying incomplete or speculative information as fact. Just guessing, though.
- cryoshon 13y agoPart of working in science is knowing that you only know a tiny sliver of your field. It's easy to get the idea that everyone else knows vastly more than you do.
