Managing Emotions When Your Friend's Salary Skyrockets and Yours Doesn’t

I’m struggling with feelings of inadequacy and frustration. A year ago, my friend and I both started our careers with 8 LPA packages. Recently, she secured a 28 LPA package, while I’m still at 8 LPA. I feel happy for his success, but I can’t help feeling left behind and questioning my own progress.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you cope with these feelings and stay motivated? Any advice on navigating this phase would be greatly appreciated.
