Imposter syndrome can also manifest via factual evidence even when it isn’t indicative of being an imposter.
I got a FAANG position without completing a degree. All my peers had degrees in CS. I thought I didn’t belong because I lacked formal accreditation. Having skill wasn’t as measurable as having a degree.
Thankfully, I’ve learned to see getting there while self-taught as validation since then.
