Loved the article! :)
I can share that the "help people" tip has been an eye-opener for me. People frequently advise about getting mentors and sponsors, but having a mentee is as important. At first, every time a coworker asked me a technical question, I was flooded with insecurities about my answers. But since they kept asking for my inputs, eventually, I realized that I might know what I'm doing after all!
In the end, we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves. Overcoming the Impostor Syndrome is an everyday process!
People say that you've only truly learned something when you are able to teach it well, and there is no better test this assumption than with a mentee. 🙂

Thanks, Julia! It is a daily process indeed.
