Funny enough, I went through something similar when I started in AI development. What helped me was realizing that confidence isn’t about knowing everything, it’s about being comfortable learning in public. I remember reading an article on https://www.womentech.net/breaking-ai-ml-tips-tech-savvy-women-2020 that talked about staying curious and continuously upgrading your skills, especially in fast-moving areas like AI and ML. It made me see that even experienced engineers are constantly learning. I started volunteering to present small updates in team meetings. At first my voice shook, but over time it felt normal. Also, finding a community — even online — where people openly share their struggles makes a big difference. You start to see that self-doubt is common, not a sign that you don’t belong.
