Has anyone here ever felt like they always had to prove their worth at work while others were simply given a chance?

Prove yourself to get a chance

I guess in terms of trying to land a new project or work, it seems like some don’t really have to prove anything in an interview. They just have to breathe and they’ll get the job. Whereas others are constantly put to the test.

We’re all given a chance to prove ourselves, otherwise we would be unemployed

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
