So, I've been promoted to Senior Engineer in the last couple of months and that felt really good because I felt that people recognized my efforts to progress and that my dedication paid off.
The problem is that, as a senior, I am supposed to become more part of the recruitment processes, through code review candidates applications, interviewing, etc. All fine by me, but sometimes I get haunted by the too familiar Imposter Syndrome when looking at the code submissions of some candidates for some of the challenges we ask them, I am supposed to be evaluating people that in some cases have (at my eyes) solutions that I would not be able to implement in such detail or finesse and some times I end up spending some hours going through some solutions just to grasp everything that a candidate has done.
Am I an imposter or is this just another phase of the process?
