I am totally still dragging that shit around. It is practically impossible to work at [company that I work at] without suffering from impostor syndrome at least part of the time. Which is really cool, in a way, because it also means that there are very very few people there that I think shouldn't be there (based on technical skills, anyway; culture fit is a different problem).

Also, I hate negotiating. I have marginally more experience at it than I used to, but I still feel really uncomfortable doing it. (Although it's apparently easier with houses than it is with salaries, for me anyway. :) )

That said, I recognize that I have a lot of built-in advantages that have nothing to do with my technical background that help in interview situations, so I'm not beating my breast and saying "look how much life sucks for me". Just assuring you that at least some guys have this problem too. :)
