Episode 31: Navigating self-doubt and earning your place – Andrew Rogers

In this episode of Beyond the Device, Andrew Rogers shares a career shaped less by certainty and more by resilience.

From struggling at school and “winging it” into his first role, to building a 30+ year career in QA/RA, Andrew opens up about a constant undercurrent of imposter syndrome and self-doubt. Despite this, it’s that very mindset that’s driven him to work harder and consistently deliver.

This episode covers:

• Non-linear career paths and finding your way without a clear plan
• Turning self-doubt into a driver rather than a blocker
• The importance of environment, support, and perspective

A grounded reminder that you don’t need complete confidence to build a successful career, just the willingness to keep going and do your best.

“Don’t limit yourself to what you think in your head… you can do more than that.”
