I got an important job out of university, and I make good money. Unfortunately though, I’ve been full-time for almost a year, and I’m still as clueless as ever. I have coworkers with just 6 months more experience than me that are miles ahead. It feels like there’s this giant gap that I won’t ever close and it’s terrifying. I have to ask people basic questions everyday, and I hate it. I hate being helpless.

And so it gets really hard to tell whether I just need more time or am not suited for my work.>>34372999> have you done anything to make yourself less cluelessAsk a million question and read relevant information. Try to jump at every opportunity to apply knowledge. It seems like that’s all I can do.
>>34373024>And so it gets really hard to tell whether I just need more time or am not suited for my work.Smells like imposter syndrome to me. Has anyone actually told you you're dead weight or anything like that at work or is this just something rattling around inside your own skull?
>>34373024>It seems like that’s all I can do.then continue doing so. unlike Sisyphus, this boulder you're pushing actually goes somewhere. just because other people pushed the boulder faster doesn't mean your efforts are in vain.
>>34373034It doesn’t matter. I don’t think they’d say it outright, but I can feel the judgement on occasion.>>34373044You’re right. Only one way to find out what I am truly capable of. But God, it’s painful.
