Is it good to compare yourself in terms of peers ?

I keep looking at my LinkedIn networks in terms of what their pedigree is, where they are in life after how much work ex and keep comparing. But this is not healthy because you will always find lots of profiles who are doing better than you.

You can benchmark yourself whenever it is forced upon you once in a while like some friends talking over who is doing what but don't be sitting alone and compare yourself. It will take the joy out of life

I would say no as everyone's journey is different be it family , social life and problems .

Sometimes, not necessarily pedigree and work ex is a good benchmark. As a first generation lower class migrant child who's making it in the corporate with 'pedigree' somehow, there's this tremendous amount of lack of support in every aspect and that's obviously taking a toll on overall well-being. That would have been very different if my circumstances were to be anything else.

All that glitters is not gold. Think about the opportunity cost wisely, I'd say.
