I get the same feeling quite a bit. The funny thing is I was told saying "impostor syndrome" is dangerous. Its like you are saying you deliberately signed up to be something you are not.

However, you signed up to be a developer you passed the interview and you are not seated among the the senior developers. Sure it will be hard fitting in but thats just it. Adjusting to the new environment, the new responsibilities, expectations etc.

And the big question looms over our minds. "Am I capable enough to adjust ?" Its more of the "Can I adjust to this new change" syndrome. But I do understand where this word comes from. I also used it a lot in my vocabulary!
