I can't speak for myself (it's been too long and I'm self-taught so I was already fairly confident at my first job), but a former co-worker did have an interesting insight at one point:

They came straight from a bootcamp and for months felt like they weren't getting better, were constantly asking questions about stuff. It only finally clicked and they gained confidence when we got a second out-of-bootcamp developer and the first person was the one that was constantly answering their questions. They hadn't realized how much they were learning because their only comparison had been those of us who had been there a lot longer.
