Impostor syndrome strikes men just as hard as women in technical interviews
It doesn't help that job ads are wanting "Top 3% only!" or "Only top 1% Ninja Rockstars need apply!".  Kind of reminds me of the market for singers or concert pianists, you <i>absolutely need</i> to be the best, even imperceptibly worse makes you unemployable.<p>Should those of us who aren't top 5%/didn't go to a top school just find another industry, one where sub-perfect work doesn't actively make other people's jobs harder?
