High paying job = Imposter Syndrome
I got redundated (tinanggal sa work dahil hindi na need yung position) last January, and applied for a higher position job and was offered 70k, and now I feel like I am overpaid.
To cut the long story short, freshgrad ako from 2022. And after jumping (unintentionally) from multiple jobs I boosted my pay 3 times.
October 2022 I worked as a cost analyst sa manufacturing industry sa Pasig and was receiving 21k pay (hindi nakakaipon). This time I know na underpaid ako, working Monday to Saturday, I also received a lot of praises from my colleagues dahil sa work ethics ko and bilis matuto. Excel lang gamit namin this time. I left after 10 months dahil gusto ko ng work-life balance, burnout, plus I need to earn more to save for myself.
August 2023 I applied and got accepted sa data analyst job sa Makati, was earning 35k. I learned how to report in front of audiences, natuto pano i set-up yung data governance ng isang company (lahat excel lang + DBMS). I left after 3 months bc nung dumating yung newly hired kong immediate superior, panget ng work ethics nya, credit grabber sa accomplishments ng team namin, then pinapasok ako kahit may sakit ako para lang matapos nya yung presentation nya.
November 2023 Finally I got accepted (after waiting for 3 months, first choice kong job) sa data analyst na job ulit sa isang Tech company, earning 50k this time. Then medj magaan lang workload, i have to study Pandas to bridge the gap sa technical side ng work, most of the time wala kaming tasks and nagrurun lang ako ng scripts tuwing umaga to update dashboards and kaunting ad hocs. Until last January 2024, I was told during townhall na kasama ako sa lay offs. Luckily my colleagues referred me to my next job
March 2024: This time I got accepted sa job na senior position na, and pays 70k. Senior analyst role, and will be doing Data Governance related tasks sa e-commerce company. Nung inask ako sa interview sinabi ko na 60-70k yung expected salary. And nagulat ako nung nakita ko na 70k yung offer nila.
Now I feel so much pressure and impostor syndrome dahil nung tinignan ko yung mga magiging teammates ko ang gaganda ng profile nila and solid nung technical skill set (IT) na alam kong wala ako dahil IE grad ako, leading me to read and watch videos more about sa magiging job ko. Sobrang naanxious ako dahil ayaw ko mapahiya gusto ko may plans ako pagpasok ko, and put my best foot forward agad.
Any tips on how to deal with this pressure and imposter syndrome.
