LOL. Unless it’s VERY specialized there are probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of similar jobs.
That said, most people that work in technology are not as good as they think they are at it. Read up, take online courses, do everything you can to stay on top of your niche and work hard. You’ll be fine.
Fake it, fake it hard and you may make it. Otherwise save every bit of cash you possibly can and use that to improve you self through training etc so you no longer have to fake it.
Great thing about tech is that it’s just a case of learning, anyone could do it but you’re the fren who has / is so you get the job.
Good luck fren, remember to smile when you get to work. It’s exciting and you have the power to make positive change within your organisation, be proactive and don’t be afraid to ask for support.
If its programming then you can relax a bit. It takes a at least a week or two til they set you up and you can always say you're not familiar with the IDE and shit lile that to justify your awkwardness. In my experience in tech people are more chill if you tell tell them you need another week before starting, and you'll make a good argument sounds like you're good at bullshitting, you'll have another week to study.

Fake it till you make it. It's a good sign for your career when you punch above your weightclass and persist.
1 thezac2613 2019-05-23
I’m going from minimum wage to $90K+. I’m studying like mad, but idk if that’ll be enough.
1 nonestdicula 2019-05-23
What’s the job?
1 thezac2613 2019-05-23
I’m obviously not going to say because I don’t want them to see this, but it’s in technology
1 arnold_the_king 2019-05-23
The worst that can happen is that you get fired. Hell, then you'll find something else. Trust the people who employ you.
1 thezac2613 2019-05-23

I got fired from my "dream job" for being 10000% honest. Tread softly fren, the nonfrens like to test us.
1 Kim_Honk_Il 2019-05-23
I see what you did there fren. You forgot people don't really want honesty, they want conformity with the conventional wisdom.
1 AnUnhelpfulVice 2019-05-23
They want you dead
1 Kim_Honk_Il 2019-05-23
You, your children and everyone like you. No country for good frens. That's the goal.

It’s okay to lie to corporate shills, Fren!
1 Kim_Honk_Il 2019-05-23
Just lie to cover up your lies, fren.
1 thezac2613 2019-05-23
That doesn’t seem smart, fren
1 Kim_Honk_Il 2019-05-23
It cannot possibly fail.
1 thezac2613 2019-05-23
I don’t believe you fren, do I need to bop you?
2 Kim_Honk_Il 2019-05-23
You could try, but it wouldn't end well, fren.
1 thezac2613 2019-05-23
You gunna bop back?
1 Kim_Honk_Il 2019-05-23
If it's BOP or be BOPPED.
1 TheRealForestElf 2019-05-23
did you lie about your qualifications, your expactations or your personal abilities my fren?
1 thezac2613 2019-05-23
My abilities. A few times, they asked do you know X and I said yes when in reality I don’t.
1 Oberfrenbannfuerer 2019-05-23
Then learn about X so you can do the basics and talk about it as if you know a lot about it.
1 OhNoBearIsDriving 2019-05-23
It's partly their fault if they don't ask you to demonstrate the skill
1 trembling-hands 2019-05-23
Everyone lies in interviews, fren. Just hit the ground running and fake it til you make it
1 KingR12 2019-05-23
Remember fren, confidence is key! Heck you could even become a frensident on confidence alone!
