Feeling less: this is mostly regarding to my salary

Have you ever felt like you are earning less, or you are left behind? I am 24M I want someone older to answer this question and tell me how you have overcome this thought if they ever did it

First of all take a break from instagram..ultra pro max standards of life is...
Actually it's just killing people.. I know it's all about how you perceive things.. but since you have negative feelings that I'm left behind.. accept or not, it's affects a lot.

Secondly, how to overcome? So, It's about switching companies and there is no other secret sauce to it.. because current company can't go beyond a certain point.. but if you are learning there then stay and when you feel things are repetitive and you have got good enough hold.. start applying and after a series of rejections.... there will be a sunrise for sure...

But but but... the whole agenda here is value.. don't think about yourself as less earner man.. because it's just take that one day when you get offer letter and things change suddenly...

So just ask yourself, If you get an interview tommorow of any high paying company.. Are you ready with your preparation? So just focus on what you are becoming day by day... Don't think about money...Again it will just take that one day, one week, one month or few months to crack those interviews and tada gradually you will also get money. .

Dusro ko dekhke dukhi mat ho bhai. Bus ye soch unhone obviously extra mehnat ki h..that's why they are where they are...and I can also do the hardwork and will achieve heights...

Good luck 🤞

4 roommates: 74, 89, 63 LPA, and me with 13 LPA. I am so lucky; never once have they demeaned me or made me feel small. They are very supportive and try to get me in touch with recruiters, etc. It hasn't worked successfully yet, but I am not going to give up. It's good to stay with such good souls. The key is not to compare.

Technically, this feeling is not at all related to money. You can feel the same way even if you make more. It's all in the head.

Technically the probability will be very less of thinking so, if earning is reasonably well.

Start listening to songs like The Nights from Avicii you need to live acc to that lyrics I understand there’s a rush to Financially free and all the burden with people around earning a lot and lot
And there are times where people less impactful achieve something that you didn’t
Honestly in the long run it won’t all matter Obviously some are fast runners and sprinters and some are marathoners Now let’s say all of the life is like a Ironman if you are first or last in the Ironman but everyone is an Ironman With the unpredictable markets and you things happening all around us it’s tough to cope up because our brain is not meant to do that, we are not meant to do that Watch Inside Out 2, see how anxiety works out and you will know what makes you think all these thoughts What’s important is you liking what you do, the checkpoint is at different places for different people See all the stars they were prolly earning less than what anyone would have been in their late 20s
It takes time for things and world around to work out according to you, and honestly have been seeing it in my own life for quite some time, doesn’t mean its all good but the regrets and anxiety don’t take my time now.

25M. I get that feeling every now and then, especially when I see someone who is of substandard or less PQE earning/thriving more than you.
