Impostor syndrome strikes men just as hard as women in technical interviews
Of course it does, it&#x27;s not a gender problem, who said it was? How many of you have heard your friends and colleagues tell you, &quot;wow I&#x27;m so lucky I got through that interview, there&#x27;s no way I would pass it if I did it again today.&quot;<p>You shouldn&#x27;t walk away from a good interview feeling like you nailed it. An interviewer should push you to your limits and the more you know, the more they should push. It doesn&#x27;t mean you failed, it means you reached the limits they could push you in the time you had.<p>If you&#x27;re rejected from the role, most likely you didn&#x27;t reach the bar they needed you to be at, or you failed at the behavioral parts. Or, the interviewers you had weren&#x27;t properly calibrated, which isn&#x27;t to say anything about you other than bad luck.
