Confessions of a High-Strung High-Achiever

I used to be a high-strung, high-anxiety high-achiever who was convinced she wasn't achieving fast enough.

Got hired at a hedge fund? My job can't possibly be safe, because I don't know enough.

This was an excellent question, because it voices the doubt we've all encountered.
