Why Is Everyone Else Earning More Than Me?

I just found out that a guy I graduated with—let’s call him Mike—landed a $125k job. Here’s the kicker: he has less experience than me, and his degree isn’t even related to his new role. Meanwhile, I’m grinding away in my field, barely scraping six figures. It’s honestly eating at me. I keep wondering what I’m doing wrong. Did I miss some secret handshake at graduation? Or is it just dumb luck? Every time I see another LinkedIn update, I feel more frustrated and lost. How do you stop comparing yourself to your peers when their success is right in your face? I’d love to hear how others deal with this—because right now, I’m stuck in a loop of self-doubt. 😩💼 #CareerGrowth #SalaryComparison #WorkplaceStruggles #JobCareer
