Ask HN: Afraid of interviewing

One thing to be aware of is imposter syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome). From your description, it sounds like you may be selling yourself short. I don't know about the prevalence in CS, but this seems to actually be pretty common in academia.

There's a good talk on the subject from PyCon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i8ylq4j_EY).

Interesting... this could apply, by traditional standards I would probably be considered successful (BS, MBA, MS).

Definitely going to check out that PyCon talk.

That Imposter syndrome talk hit close to home and was very worthwhile - thanks for the link.
