Stop hating people who succeed

Recently being seen a bunch of people here taking a dig on people with high salaries. This is so counter productive. Rather than trying to learn from people who’ve been able to get a head start and getting it for yourself why are you resorting to hating on them?

This is what is the difference between India and the west. The west is so fu##in capitalistic that people just understand and respect those that have money and everyone else is working hard to make it too.

Don’t hate the race. Don’t hate the winners. We can all win. Help each other.

My salary is also high so whatever…

Well , you couldn't resist. Could you? Congratulations for the highest package on earth.

It's stupid race. Let me give you a broader perspective on why a decently paid individual can make it up with consistency within 10 years.

The inflated package you got will also result in

Increased risk of layoff Increased rent based on location Increased additional expenses Increased health problems because of stress Decreased family time Confusion in priorities

Since you got money early in life, congrats but what on earth will you buy once you have it all? By 50 you'll be left with minimum wishes you can wish for.

These are just a few of the common things...

No hate but everyone should work on their pace once they get a decent salary.

You make good points. More money is going to create higher rates across and lead to trouble. I understand.

But I am not young - I am 30+ and my salary is kinda decent for my age as it should be for 9 years of work ex. I am not one of the young - crazy high package early career guys. My point was just to not hate each other. And to not rant out.

"The west is so fu##in capitalistic that people just understand" .... They don't, shit is the same everywhere.

And a reverse point to your post. We also need to then stop glorifying people who succeed right?
Why the f do people glorify movie stars, founders and sportmen. They are just like your average Joe who just had better luck of the draw. Your intelligence does not equate the amount of money you will end up making, dumb brain-dead fucks on YouTube make more then most of us will make in our lifetime. Don't hate or compare whether you winning or losing. The game of life is a bitch, just play it as best you can.

"My salary is also high so whatever" The reason behind this post was just to mention this.

I'm 31, I doubled my package over last year and half. One thing I am sure of is that I don't deserve this salary. Someone is stupid enough to pay me this. Indeed I do hell lot of impactful work, but no shame in accepting I'm kind of overpaid. Admit that few things are gone very wrong over past few years. I am not yet fired, probably won't be. But the recent layoff etc are reason behind this overpayment.

How much is your CTC that you think you're getting overpaid?

Used to get 44 lpa fixed. With my skill, education & impact - it was less. Applied with a hope of 30% hike. Got >90% hike in fixed & more benefits. I think I deserve around 60-65 fixed. New organisation need my exact skill desperately, I think that's the justification

I am about join my first job soon but I also don't get this. Wouldn't you want to try to make as much instead of trying to make other people feel shitty.

Exactly. My first package was 5.5 LPA 9 years ago

Make good on your own potential and your own opportunities. Stay positive and helpful :)
All the best to you
