I actually have been dealing with this for a while now. As someone who is coming from a different field it was challenging for me when I recently landed my first dev job. I get intimidated and nervous picking up new tasks even though I’ve done something similar in school. What’s helped me so far is that my manager knows of my skills. They support me and know that I’m still learning but they really liked my attitude and personality. He said you can teach the technical stuff and that will come through time but you can’t teach personalities and attitudes.
