What do you do to get past imposter syndome?

Have a new PE job lined up after some years of consulting and BB IB. While I remain excited about the job, there is still a sense of anxiety of whether they chose the wrong person and how I'll be able to measure up to the fund's expectations. I'm aware that this is irrational. I'm aware that they chose me out of many other candidates. Maybe it's just new job jitters, but the feeling still lingers. 


Any advice for getting past it?
