The irony that the guy your talking about’s last name is….. Petty 😂
Pro
I’m not being petty at all. I’m stoked for the guy. Mostly just laughing at myself.
It may be a hard pill to swallow but if you try and flip your thinking and be happy for the success of others, and think that another persons good fortune has no bearing on your own luck and happiness, you’ll feel a whole lot better about life in general. Let it go, believe in yourself, and back yourself.
Hey just tryna help
Plot twist you’re probably making just as much as that ECD
So I’m jealous you even got interviewed. You must be good at your job.
Pro
I have a good resume. A couple of good agencies. A few big/good brands. Also people tend to like me, so I get good referrals. I think I’m ok not great at my job.
The type of people who are promoting are pretty good at being big talk grifters.
@cw4 you right
You are a star ✨

Same situation happened to me. I didn’t get the role and the person who got it is now and Executive VP.
I thought I was more qualified and I still think I am. But I got my “revenge” when we won a competitive pitch against them because I knew what that person weakness was in terms of knowledge and experience and leveraged that in the pitch.
It helped me to get over it but I just let it go, everything happens for a reason and that’s the way the ball sometimes bounces.
It helps me not get complacent even over 15 years in this industry. There are plenty of talented and smart people who deserve everything they get by hard work, networking, smarts and a little luck.
Because there are tons that fake till they make it and then fake it till they make it again!
Gotta channel that big 2nd place energy, yo.
If OP is now working at a third rate shop, I doubt they came in 2nd.
You can also get the other way around of that. My family and friends who don't know anything about the industry think I'm doing pretty well for myself... Little do they know 😂

WK Portland goes through ECDs fairly quickly.
Not true at all.
Honestly, if you’re healthy, have a job and family you’re winning these days. I know it’s hard not to get salty sometimes but think of how extremely lucky you are.

Yep gotta make sure to stay regular
Comparison kills joy
