I don’t have much to say. I am certainly optimistic. Overconfident? No. But it is hard to find a balanced position. Among this cohort of overconfident people, if you show a trace of self-doubt you would probably be deemed as truly inept. It is not about if I am overconfident or not; it really is about if my interviewers think if I am overconfident or not—and I guess it is a good bet for the interviewer to assume every interviewee to be so.
OK, so I guess it all boils down to the ability to be confident without annoying others, and this should be possible. You are who you are, but you are also what people think you are. Always relative, eh?
