I coined the phrase "reverse imposter syndrome" during my later years at Google.

Reverse imposter syndrome is when you think you're good enough to be there, but you're not.

At s company gets bigger and bigger, the talent level has to revert to the population mean. Especially when all FAAMNG companies also covet the highly talented, no one of them can fill its hiring goals without lowering its standards.




Exactly, and when those folks don't measure up they blame everyone and everything for their problems.
