Not necessarily in a way where I can effectively demonstrate everything I’ve learned, but sure, a lot goes somewhere in the back of my memory bank. It’s created job opportunities for me in disruptive tech fields because I’m just able to absorb so much in that initial hyperfocus phase, and come across like a subject matter expert on something I just heard about a couple of weeks ago. Sucks when you land in what seems to be a great position and just lose interest in the field though. Good recipe for imposter syndrome
Not in tech anymore but I definitely do this with my jobs. It really sucks because I could be doing so much more but I just can’t be bothered to care after the I got a new job and this is interesting phase. But at least I have these random bits of information that I can pretend to be smart with thst come up at the most inopportune times. 🤣 I feel you on the imposter syndrome.
You remember the random stuff you read?
It’s in and out. I feel that people would actually think I’m smart if I could recall even 2% of all the shit I learn on demand.
I remember enough to somewhat know what I’m talking about and especially enough to know what I need to quickly google to get the full details.
