is imposter syndrome real? i mean on a basic level the idea just seems accurate. actual distribution is luck based with a wide range of people capable of handling most jobs and individual talent levels not being all that indicative of success.
It is on some level. Its a symptom of low confidence.
Professionals that have to pass a test still feel it even after passing. Which seems quite odd, as that is the only qualifier to be the thing they feel they don't qualify as.
Depending on the field, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that once you enter the professional workforce for the first time out of school/college/whatever, you're going from an environment where everyone is at a roughly equal level of education, to one where some of your coworkers will have 20+ years of experience in the field. A new hire thinks that they're not doing as good of a job as the people who have more experience (which in fairness, they aren't), and that self-doubt sticks with you even as you progress through your career.
I always feel like I’m not actually good enough to do my job and people are gonna find out and call me out on it eventually. Honestly had a long time of not making much progress in my career bc of it. I still don’t really push like I should tbh
No, in my experience it's the exact opposite. Most people in white collar professional jobs know that their jobs are bullshit or far easier than people think, and they're just waiting for the metaphorical curtain call.
People who claim to have "imposter syndrome" are just telling you that they are Dunning-Kruger cases a lot of the time. They think they're important because a title or piece of paper says so, but they are actually really, really dumb if they think a prestigious job is actually hard. Or they're just lying to you to discourage you from finding out the ruse.

Imposter syndrome is real, there is one among us right now :sus-deep:
do feds on this site suffer from double imposter syndrome?
one for not being a real fed, and one for not being a real poster?
if a chapo got hired as a fed, would this cancel out?
