Will I ever get even the industry's 80%?

2011-12 - Spent a year writing short story. Got published with a sister brand of Penguin 2013-15 - Built pages on Facebook with 11M+ followers. Started my own content websites; earned via AdSense 2015-18 - Quit the previous gig to work as a full time. Content writer to manager to Performance Marketer to social media head to editor in chief among 3 different organisations. 2019-21 - Quit textual content for video. Marketed multiple TVF shows and YouTube sketches. Built Tiktok. Delivered multiple influencer led campaigns at Radio Mirchi. Now, in this journey, I had taken two paycuts as I had accumulated good money in the first three years. Plus, my idea was "If I diversify and learn multiple things, I'll get better at my job. So, salary would be a byproduct" That, however, hasn't happened. I'm at 40-50% of my ex-colleagues with similar experience. 2023 - Joined a fintech, taking care of my UI, UX, Customer experience, education, etc. Any comments on my fate?

Your fate is better than most! You might earn less for now but you won’t have regrets later 🙂

Just a phase as soon as market recovers so will you. You got quite a boastful experience.

It seems Jack of all trades isn't working out for you. While being a master at one is difficult, it could be helpful. I see you've been a Writer, Performance Marketeer, Social Media Curator, and worked a lot in Marketing. Now in a Fintech but also into UX/CX? Quite odd. Surely diversity helps one in exploring ideas and potential career opportunities. But considering you started in 2011, it's already been 13 years now. In a regular corporate order you should have been at some MD/VP/CXO type of position.
