Feeling weird
My friend just got an offer for 32LPA + ESOPS. Which is great, i am really happy!
But we both started at the same time in the same field, and i am at 18LPA no ESOPS, this difference feels a bit weird.
Does that happen with everyone? Or am i the only one feeling this way?
What should i do next? 🤒

Acknowledge that paths are not always similar but you can eventually get there by putting in the right amount of work.
Also, realize that you are not what you ‘earn’ or what you ‘work as’. Easier said than done for sure. My friend once told me when somebody asks him what do you do, he replies back saying ‘I am a father of a three year old kid. I play sports during my free time. Oh, also I work at xxx’ rather than just saying ‘I work as xx at yy’. That changed my entire perspective and I keep going back to that conversation
When i started, within 2yrs i was earning 3x salary of all my friends. Now some of them are earning 75-80lpa.
Neither i had ego back then nor have a pity feeling for myself or them
Life long these things ll happening.
And dont have these thoughts especially for friends and close one's.
Everyone has a different destiny.

Before you applied to this company, did you check what’s the market salary they were offering to your kind a role ? If not, that’s the first thing you should stop feeling bad about.
Secondly, even I was in a similar situation like yours, but what I did was upskilled myself and spoke to my manager to increase my salary, and my manager helped me out. There are times when your manager won’t help and you know exactly what to do :)
Third, why are you unhappy with your current salary? Is it only because your friend is getting more than you or now do you feel that your market value should have been 32 and you were given less and fooled into. Think about all these pointers and then apply whichever applicable mate.
