I accidentally became important at work 😅

I recently started a new job like 2 weeks before the beginning of monk mode. Mind you this after a prolonged period of not working so I was very eager to get back in the fold and be the best I could be. Upon meeting my direct manager he told me I would be a responsible for the technical management of the team and responsible for research. Long story short he was really impressed in the 3 weeks I’ve been working there and has added me to leadership meetings and interview panels I completed my first interview today and it was kind of surreal because I was interviewing the team member who had trained me! I felt under qualified but the said my background was really impressive and my input is valued. So I now am responsible for asking the technical questions whenever there a hiring a technical candidate and recommend trainings to my team based on what I think would help them perform better. I honestly thought I was just another worker bee now I’m suddenly Important not complaining at all just kind of shocked imposter syndrome is setting in 😅
