Okay so I landed an internship at a startup as a front-end developer in Feb and recently got converted to full time in Aug. But the thing is im the only guy they have for development (yes literally not a single person knows dev other than me) and well a little about me, I got imposter syndrome. I have been working on frontend for quite some time now but because I'm the only one here I need to build everything so I never really got time to actually learn stuff, I just use gpt for everything and get the work done.
Now my task is to make the full fledged website of the company ( I have the figma and have been asked to build it). It kinda feels like I'm working on a self project but with deadline set by someone else? The thing is I have asked them numerous times to hire someone senior but they say I'm good enough as I somehow was able to build a decentish product in my 3-4 month internship( not me ig I learnt the very basics and used gpt). I feel like a fraud all I do is do chatgpt as i know I won't be able to build something by myself 😔, can anyone help in what can I do in his situation? Like if I try to actually learn while making stuff it'll take too much time I feel, how can I learn and grow in a situation like this?
I'm going through the same phase and trust me nothing is better than switching to a company where you'll be surrounded by some experienced seniors, because otherwise you won't learn anything. Making websites using some framework is a college thing. Now when you're working professionally you should know more than that. You should know best ways of doing something, the best architecture, how to optimise things for scale ... things like that. There are many startups who give you bribes saying you're getting a chance to learn, you won't get a chance like this anywhere else ... blah blah. So it's bettter to find a new job while working. It's easy to find new job right now than after 2-3 years. After 2-3 years every company will have different expectations from you and to make sure you'll fulfill those expectations you should join a company where you can really grow. Don't get attached to your workplace. You're just a resource for them.
Yeah that's what I was thinking I'll switch asap, plus someone told me to view it as they're paying me to learn building stuff so that felt better
