I work in academia. It's my job to provide programming muscle (backed by moderate scientific literacy) to scientists. Pretty normal for me to feel that while I have my own things to offer, they're the main show and that some (many? Hard to know) may be broadly more intelligent.

My boss is probably around 20 IQ points above me in some obvious ways, wasting his talents in this company IMO, and I'm basically always deferring to him. I still feel comfortable voicing any ideas that come to me during meetings, and his pushback always comes with justification.

There are really two questions, do you feel you have some to contribute and do you think you are smarter. I would answer sometimes to both depending on the circumstances. At work people are incredibly intelligent so the answer is often no to both at the same time
