Correct. But it is real. "Promoted to Senior Director of Product at Google... I wonder what comp that is? What?!? $2M+. That guy worked for me 5 years ago."
I'm not saying you have no problems to worry about but "reading the room" is important and you'll be hard-pressed to find sympathy given your circumstances and the fact that most users here come nowhere close to that level of income.
Honestly thanks for sharing, you must have recognized many here would be annoyed by your professional success but it’s good to get the perspective. Confirms to me that there is no winning the rat race, you’ll always want more and be annoyed at your competitors leapfrogging you.
You know what they say, the joy of wealth
is inconstant. The perspective you've offered is real but as someone pointed out, it's worth reading the room. Emerson once said (to a rich man) something like, "Give this person the inner work of his intellect, and
he will be happier than the richest man".
