Feeling worthless

Hi everyone,

I am an employee at a Big Tech Firm, and doing quite well at my job. I have few friends of mine, who are active on LinkedIn and Twitter, and use the company's name extensively and make posts and gain followers. I sometimes feel jealous of these colleagues and feel worthless due to them. Even though I am doing well than them in the job, sometimes I just can't stop feeling jealous. Any suggestions on what I can do?

You are not feeling worthless. You are just insecure that one of those loud mouths on LinkedIn will gain traction and start making monnies by using the company name and you won't.

Posting clickbaits for the sake of getting followers just isn't my thing. I feel jealous but also helpless

Are you a child? Stop caring about all of these things. In the end, two things matter: Are you competent and can you sell it.

You just gotta learn to be satisfied , if you know you doing well in job and earning enough . Then the fame part you seeking is not worth it rather spend time doing something you truly wish for .

Feeling depressed at Amazon(2YOE/41L CTC). Anyone else feeling the same way?

I can't seem to relate to much of the non-FAANG junta out there. I mean I have a cushy job with probably 0.1% pay of all SWEs(pretty much like all of us do). But these cookie-cutter roles have been taking a mental toll on me. Like I am g...

Making 78L at 32, but I feel like an imposter. Is this normal? (Self-reflection + seeking advice)

I think I'm losing my mind. I'm a 32-year-old guy in tech, graduated from IIIT Delhi, earning 78L annually, but I feel like I'm fooling everyone, including myself. It's as if I'm constantly waiting for someone to burst into the office an...
