This quiz was a way of getting at “impostor syndrome.” Technically, the term means *feeling like an impostor*, feeling like you are less capable/competent than others with the same credentials.https://twitter.com/s_r_constantin/status/1228715932056309763 …

I often hear people saying that *everything possible* is being done to fund and support talented/competent people, but there just aren’t enough such people. That’s not my opinion, and it seems to not be the opinion of most who answered the poll.

I know from experience that there are a lot of people whose resumes look weak relative to their abilities. And I don’t think the market for them is at all competitive.

I have also found that when I do a project that I can count as an “accomplishment” it’s typically both more ambitious and has less help from others than what other people count as a similar accomplishment (like “a PhD thesis”), which adds up to fewer prestige points overall.

An ability to find the minimum-effort path to a claimable accomplishment seems to be essential to getting an impressive resume, and it’s not a skill people really teach or even admit exists.

Hmm. So that wasn't how I read (or answered) the question. A lot of the things about me that are impressive IRL are not ones that are particularly relevant to my job, so don't show up on my CV. I think my CV pretty accurately represents how impressive I am at work.

So I guess my default hypothesis would be that it's other people reading the question that way too. Of course I could just be typical minding.

Resumes don't correlate that well with achievement potential. Therefore, a majority of people with above-average achievement potential will outperform their resume. If your followers tend to have above-average potential (hint: yes), isn't that the most parsimonious explanation?

An immersive resume is the last thing I optimize for. None of my jobs/opportunities in the last decade were due to my resume. I got them from: * Friends and connections * Technical exams * My online output At this point, I may as well double down on those and chuck my CV.

Knowledge that my resume-building has been non-optimal, and I assumed most others have near-optimal resumes for themselves.
