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."

My household income is north of a million. But every time I look at Levels.fyi I feel like I'm falling behind my peers. It takes a concerted effort to then pull my thought process back to the real problems in the world and not my idiotic social comparisons. One way I try to bring that thought process back to being grounded is to setup another automatic monthly donation. That makes me feel good for a while.

I've wondered if leaving the SF Bay Area will be the key to ending my social comparison misery cycle.
