I make half of what my husband makes (he's a software engineer), and to even get to where he is in salary I'd have to be at least an SM... How to cope with this? Feeling like I don't contribute much

Relax. Salary doesn't decide your worth. It's not a competition. As long as you both are able to lead a comfortable life and good savings, you should be happy.

I didn't know it's a competition. The day I got a big hike and a promotion my partner was extremely happy just stated our combined income. I was delighted too. I earn double of what she earns. That doesn't make me better than her. She contributes a lot in house hold work even though she has a lot hectic schedule than myself. I really respect her for that and she considers my income as hers and I'm more than happy to share everything I've got to this wonderful person.

I feel like the urge to run away whenever I'm unable to perform well or understand things. I feel like an impostor getting lucky along my career path. Deep down I know I can do it but I'm slow. Switching jobs is not the solution I feel as I've already tried that. I feel like if I communicate my shortcomings I'll be questioned of my prior experience. Feel like quitting and prepare for a government job or don't know what.If anybody has experienced this phase can you please advice.
