Is it normal to feel underpaid even when you’re technically paid well? I hit six figures and thought I'd be living the dream, but with inflation and responsibilities it doesn’t feel like much anymore. Am I just greedy?

No. It doesn’t go as far anymore. And you aren’t paid for nothing—you earn every penny in my experience

You aren’t greedy. The reality is wages haven’t kept up with inflation. 100,000 may sound like a lot until you consider cost of housing, childcare, groceries, healthcare.

You're right that money doesn't stretch near as far as it used to. I downsized my lifestyle pretty significantly to stay within my means. It's frustrating to have less buying power every year, while work gets more demanding by the year.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
