In reply to the discussion: Has anyone else ever experienced imposter syndrome? [View all]MenloParque
(505 posts)18. You got this!! For I am an ultimate imposter. I manage a Department of
20+ Data Scientists many of whom hold Phds. I admit I am nowhere qualified for the title I hold. For the last 30 years I just managed to fake most of what I do. I mostly just walk out of my office every 2 hours laughing, smiling, clapping while yelling You Rock Team!! Hit those Matrices! Then I go back to napping, jumping on my Peloton to get my cardio in, then creating mostly offensive memes for the rest of the day. Dont worry about it! You Rock!
