I didn't know I was actually hired as a dev.

About 10 years ago I had originally applied for a graphic design position. During the interview it came up that I built my website. So for the second interview I met with the dev lead and got the job. But I wasn't fully aware that the second interview was for an entirely different department and position.

It all clicked in the first few on-boarding meetings, I didn't want to let on I really had no clue what I was doing, so I started winging it.

And I guess you could say I've been winging it ever since. I'm now the lead dev for a different agency.

You and me both.
I was studying advertising, thought I would start with a very simple design position, (this was back in Guatemala... ) 10 or so years later here I am working as a Dev in the Netherlands
