when i was invited to the full panel interview for my job, i turned it down i sent an email to the hiring manager & architect, saying i was honored that they would even consider me for this role of a lifetime, but i didn’t think i had what it takes just yet

despite passing the initial tech screen, i was intimidated by the job req. it was full of knowledge & skills i either didn’t have enough of or just flat-out didn’t have. i was terrified of failing spectacularly. turning down the job meant i’d never have to see what it might be like to fail

You never know when your words of encouragement might land perfectly and in turn create a new generation of people who pay that forward. I’m so happy you got the encouragement you needed when you needed it, and I love that you encourage others in return. Thank you!

I've had a similar situation, just being able to pass the tech interview for a prestigious position helps with imposter syndrome.

I’ve read about how many women turn down jobs that similarly qualified men accept, purely based on this. Men will bluff their way to success.
