When I worked at an investment firm in my 20’s I battled major imposter syndrome. Every day I dreaded going to work, convinced I’d be found out for being unqualified and unworthy of being there. Yes, I dealt with a serious case of it even when I was physically working at an office for 8–10 hours a day with other experienced, finance professionals who I felt where more deserving to be in that space.

Then when I slowly started to transition to freelance work and ultimately, working from home, I was relieved that I would be free of that weight of feeling not-good-enough by my peers. I could finally work freely without the pressure of their eyes on my computer screen, or their judgy sighs at my contribution in the boardroom.

Oh...my... this is actually me too. I used to work in front house Asset Management and had the EXACT same thoughts.
