Last year, the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, said that she suffers from this. She said:

“Even though I have been in politics for a long time, I have been First Minister for four years, there will be days when I think ‘should I even be here? Is somebody about to find me out?’”

(This quote is from the Guardian newspaper, May, 15, 2019)

Exactly as described in this thread; a feeling of being found out, being a fake, even though properly qualified and experienced.
