Most common in women, professionals who deal with imposter syndrome may feel that they are no good at their job and have somehow made it to where they are by chance or by being a fraud.
Imposter Syndrome can be described as a psychological phenomenon where people struggle to acknowledge and internalise what they have achieved.
It’s possible that you may fear to lose your identity if you quit your job. From the time we are children, asked what we want to be when we grow up, we have been subconsciously taught to define ourselves by our careers. Often, we tie our identity to our titles. If you’ve been at your organisation for some time and have progressed through the ranks, gained trust, earned a good reputation and certain level of status, then you have most likely invested a lot of time, effort and dedication into this role! In this case, it is understandable that you are fearful of losing this investment and losing the ground you have gained in your company. If you view your current position as an important step up the career ladder, you might fear risking that or feel unsure of whether you’re making the right decision for your career progression. Quitting your job means letting go of the familiar and entering into the unknown. It’s natural for people to fear change or uncertainty. There are many concerns, worries and fears that might be holding you back from quitting the job you hate.
