I have an offer from a start-up which I will be joining next week. Even though I got a hike more than 100% ( current tc: 6lpa, new tc:14lpa) and changed to sde role I am still not satisfied. Seeing all those comp posts on leetcode I felt I can be one of them. But now I am feeling left behind and not able to move on. I know I have no dev experience. But every other person is getting tc more than 25. How can I get rid of this FOMO and focus on learning and growth. Drop your advice in comments sec.

Stop comparing. You always find people earning higher and earning lower and most high salaries are loaded with joining bonus and RSU etc. If you doing better than before you must be happy.if you compare there is no end to it. If If it make you feel better, am 15 yoe and earning less than 40 and I gave up nearly 10 lakhs as I wanted
better wlb.

Am from a pretty good management college also. As you gain exp you will find people taking different paths. I know some of my friends became C level exc and some doing worse than me too. You will realize many are not truthful and will bump up salaries and designations initially. Now that we in late 30's we do not care and happy for each other success.. for 1 you getting 14 and that is not a bad salary.you know very high salaries include rsu etc. What matters is are you happy with your work. Let's say you get 20 you will compare with 25. If you getting 25 it will be 30. If u got high salary then it will be your wlb is bad and you will start comparing that. Else you will compare designation. Else onsite. Later it will be GF.. then wife.. then kids.. then car.. then house.. this is a never ending loop.

How experienced are u?

Once you have a look at how much other people are earning there is no going back. Everyone becomes greedy so do I. Thinking long term I should focus on learning but I am not able to do that. Hence posted this

Well that's the thing how do you define you are earning good!? You should be happy cause you were getting 6 lpa upto now and it's double so be happy spend a year....if you get greedy you won't be happy at 1 cr also...there are always people above you and below you!

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
