It slows me down in decision-making moments. But I\u2019m working on trusting my judgment more. I now set time limits for each task. This helps me stay efficient and confident.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1327\">5. <strong data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1325\">How do you handle deadlines?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1563\">I break large tasks into smaller parts.

It felt confusing and time-consuming at first. I asked a senior for guidance and tips. I practiced the process on dummy data.
