You’re technical and have self-awareness of failings?

I’d hire you to be a manager. I wouldn’t be worried you can’t learn and grow.

Note that being aware of one's failings doesn't necessarily mean a person has yet learned how to mitigate them.

And it is downright spirit-crushing to go into a situation thinking, "I do not know what I'm doing", ask for help only to be told to have more self-confidence, fail, and then have others be disappointed in you for your 'obvious' failures.

Wow sounds like the bar is low in this thread’s bubble. Is this FAANG land? Weird because it’s famously hard to get through those interviews. Interested from across a pond.
Hah, thanks!
