Maybe it’s because I literally do not give a shit about the company or it’s products or customers. I just want money. In fact, I want the opposite kind of imposter syndrome, where I trick the people hiring me into thinking I’m much more qualified than I actually am get paid a shit ton more money. Yes I know C++, Pascal, Assembly, COBOL. Please pay me $500k.
I think impostor syndrome was one of those things that was a real phenomenon with specific meaning that got instantly recuperated to mean the opposite of what it was intended because we have to keep up the illusion that rich people jobs are meaningful and not bullshit.
