Thanks for sharing your journey, Ifeanyi! As someone with over 15 years in the IT industry, I’ve come to realize that the sense of imposter syndrome never truly fades. Each time I begin a new project or take on a challenging task, there’s a familiar voice that echoes, casting doubts and sparking uncertainty. This experience, deeply rooted within us, often feels as though it’s wired into our minds, challenging our confidence when we step outside our comfort zone. But despite this, there’s a unique thrill in embracing these new challenges, pushing past the self-doubt, and letting curiosity and drive lead the way. This inner tension is not only common but, in many ways, it’s essential-it keeps us humble and fuels our desire to grow. By the way, I love that term you've used describing your old startup job "wearing so many hats" 👏
Love the input and insights, its videos like these that spark others to tell their stories, so we know we arent in this alone. I completely embrace it now because like you said it does help keep us humble to know "hey you dont know it all".. you still have much to learn and know, especially from others!
Thank you for sharing your story, So many of us who want to get into cloud role are very scared and have that big imposter syndrome that doesn't help to even applying to the job after looking on job description. As you said, Landing a job and keep it, is also something that need to be learned and shared to help others.
My pleasure! There’s a lot people go through but arnt talking about it’s crazy we are all experience the same thing. I’m going to a video on this and topics just mentions. “When is it time to start applying for jobs”.
Thanks for making this video. It helped me a lot. I started my career earlier this year as a dev after completing a bootcamp. For the first 5 months I was put on a new project where no code was written. Things weren't too bad and I was doing well and managing okay writing my own code. Then recently I joined an existing project with a large codebase already done. I can't explain how overwhelmed I was looking through the code. I was so lost just like you and felt a strong sense of dread and not being good enough. Eventually I was able to understand some stuff. But it was still difficult working through others code. This week was also very hard for me. I was given a task to complete, and I struggled a lot even understanding what to do or how the app even works. I felt like I made a mistake choosing this career. Your words are really encouraging. People don't really explain what the work is really like working for a company and how hard it can really be. There should be more awareness of this.
Maan i love this! Thank you so much for sharing your story already. These are the stories we need so others can hear and know we are not in this alone. We all go through this! Keep on fighting, just once day at a time, you will get better!
Skills will surely get you any job, but discipline and charisma will keep you there and take you far. Remember before you got hired, a group of people voted for you to be there, amongst many. Always recognize what you have, many don't have that - whatever that it nourish it, develop it and use it to empower others. This will take you far.
@@chillybean9662 this is it! The crazy part is I knew all of this before I got there but it’s all sounds good untill you get in the seat and you have to actually live it out. Even now as I’m giving advice I’m still feeling close to that same way and trying to manage it.. as I’m on my 3rd week at AWS 😂
What a great story and you helped a tons of people by doing this video who are in the same position. Those of us who are Keep doubting about ourselves we're not alone. Cheers 🥂
@@ካቡ you are not alone indeed! Let’s keep sharing our stories, it really helps. As I’m sharing this I’m also going through my own struggles onboarding in my new role. So as I give advice I’m also encouraging to myself 😊
@@WesleyFranks truth!!! However, for me those weren’t even enough either. I did over 25 projects and documented them on my blog. It was literally how I got hired, they saw my project, interview me and I got hired. But maaan..no matter how much projects you do. Unless you actually worked in a companies infrastructure.. I don’t think anything can prepare you for a large scaled architecture or code base on your first day lol. Everything I build was on a minuscule level compared to a full fledged organizations cloud platform. And that’s the awareness I’m trying to bring. So you don’t get blindsided by it no matter how prepared you think you might be lol.
Wow You're a genius 🎉. Please do you offer training? I want to learn cloud computing and I would love to learn from you. Your respond will be appreciated.
