Others' success doesn't take away from your ability to continue to succeed, this isn't zero sum and the market is big enough for all of us to succeed.
Instead of focusing only on the left portion of the career timeline, zoom out and see that the right end of the timeline tapers off and even ends much earlier for most peers. Life is short, play the long game.
Stay healthy and capitalize on your maturity, experience, and wisdom, especially in networking and sales. Once you hit the latter part of your career, these will be differentiators that set you apart from younger peers.
Agree with pwc1. Success is relative to the scale with which you are measuring it. Your experience and hardship you faced early on will translate in your experience/maturity. You may be more ready for future in that regards compared to others who got a good start and are yet to experience anything like 2008-2010. Stay creative, keep learning, stay fit and most importantly stay happy. If you win this comparison today you may find something else to be unhappy about ... that’s what you want to avoid.
Same, tho I graduated into the previous worst recession ever (1991). The data I have seen suggested that those that graduate into a “crash” year typically make 15-20% less than later graduates, and you never make up the difference. It’s been frustrating throughout my career. Especially seeing SC first years complaining about a salary / bonus level it took me ten years past college to reach on the same career path because I had to do non-relevant work first 3 years of my career. Now it’s extremely hard to advance because there are so many younger people (I’m gen x) competing for the next step up. Exits are tough as a result.
Age isn't a benchmark for everyone, I mean, most great people in the history died before hitting 80yo, doesn't mean I need to get there younger that they did...
