Yes. But whenever I try to build a case, my mental model tells me that its not the right time. I think of all counter arguments (company revenue is down, my product is still in infancy,etc.), and I tend to postpone it. Why can't it be discussed as a process (e.g. regular review session likes hey, I see you are very close to be promoted to senior manager, let us discuss it in details the next meeting). I mean that my manager should be as aware of it, as I am.

I am working on that, too ;)

Great piece of advice. I like the "don't ask, tell". The reason I got a little disappointed in "asking" is that in previous 2 attempts the promotion got delayed because of stupid reorgs, the managers changed. I took it upon me to build the case again. That took time (at lease a year), and eventually I thought maybe it makes no sense, rather just wait till someone realizes. But I get your point. Thank you :)

AWS and how to deploy a complete web app with the service bundles (EC2, Elastic storage S3, etc.) It is an amazingly fulfilling experience as a product manager.

I think that the comments have covered pretty much everything to break the problem into fundamentals. I would just like to add that: - professional envy is futile - use the opportunity to step aside for a while, and think of a another route to get ahead of the person you are jealous of

This way you would not just stop wasting time in constant comparison, but also likely to find a constructive mechanism to beat your competition.

In my little career, whenever I found myself being jealous of others, I thought harder to differentiate myself, isolate from comparison/competition, and always learnt something new to get ahead.

In the end, I don't know if my own narrative of professional journey would reach my milestones, but I am 100% sure that I wouldn't be too jealous.

I am looking for this exact feature. Identifying duplicates from multiple back-ups. Is there a cool way?
