Does anyone know what should I do?? I was talking to my mom today since my Bangladesh friend with whom I worked in Taco Bell as boy runners. Long story short... Now that kid with as I remember black teeth makes 80k$ per year while I am driving Uber for $Hunda a day. Life isn't fair my mom is mad coz I didn't study math. I explained that IT isn't that bad , but she said no math no career

I think you should be happy for him! Sounds like he worked his butt off and you should be proud of him and celebrate him for all he’s accomplished.

Life isn’t a zero sum game. Be inspired and go change your own life instead of being sad about what you haven’t (yet!!) achieved in comparison.

I’m Bengali. This is a piece of perspective that is lacking in the Bengali community: We’re all independent human beings with the choice to do anything we want. No one is physically controlling you (not even your parents). You can literally do whatever you want and you have done whatever you wanted. You’re exactly where you are based on your choices. The good news is, you can make new choices. Figure out a career path that is realistic and start working towards it.

I’m also not saying it’s easy. Everything is set up in a way that makes it incredibly difficult to break out of your current situation, but the opportunities are definitely out there if you work hard and stop comparing yourself to people. That friend with “black teeth” ended up finding something that worked for them - why are you speaking negatively about them? Clearly your understanding of what a person needs to become successful is not correct if they found success and you didn’t.

Improving your own values and character will also go a LONG way. Anyone can get a certification or degree, but I would hire someone who has emotional intelligence over someone with an extra certification any day.

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help.

I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.
