Is this with the recruiter? Is this for the BA role?

For tips, remember to be structured when answering follow up questions. Find insightful questions to ask the interviewer. Make sure you have a little bit of small talk at the beginning to break the ice. And let your personality show through your voice inflections since it’s not a video call. All the best

After working 5+ years and letting life happen, I ended up back with a staff title (no career/group change). Everyone said I was doing well throughout my career. But most of peers are now managers, senior managers, directors, controllers, etc. I really don’t want to compare, but how do I deal with this so it doesn’t bother me? Has anyone else been in this situation? I feel partly ashamed because all of the work I put in didn’t get me very far in my career.
