Privileged Colleagues Keep Getting Promoted While I'm Stuck 😤

I'm 24F working at a corporate office, and I'm honestly feeling so defeated right now. It seems like everyone around me has family connections or wealthy parents who helped them land amazing opportunities, while I'm over here grinding with my $38k salary just trying to make ends meet. 😔 Last week, another colleague got promoted to senior analyst - and guess what? His dad plays golf with the VP. Meanwhile, I've been working overtime for months, taking on extra projects, but I can't even afford the networking events because they're always at expensive restaurants downtown. I grew up in a rough neighborhood, worked three jobs through college, and have zero industry connections. Watching these privileged colleagues climb the ladder while I'm barely staying afloat is honestly breaking my spirit. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you stay motivated when the playing field feels so uneven? I really need some advice from people who get it. 💔 #JobCareer #workplacestruggles #careeradvice
