OFFICE HOURS: Moving from Unqualified to Fearless Leader: What I Learned About Conquering Imposter Syndrome
Emily Hoang
I was a young mom of an almost 3-month-old infant. Despite the sleepless nights, the constant diaper changes, and breastfeeding, I was thrilled when, in November 2017, I landed myself a new opportunity: VP of Engineering at Metadata.
In this chat, I would talk about how:
- Nervous I was about getting hired at Metadata
- The challenges I encountered
- The internal prejudices from (former) colleagues
- How I overcame my own imposter syndrome to build the product that had higher Customer Satisfaction scores than teams with 5x the headcount and 10x the funding
