Lately every convo with people my age feels the same. Everyone thinks they missed some invisible career checkpoint. Titles, salaries, timelines. It’s all made up and we act like it’s a rulebook. I’m curious:

Does anyone actually feel on track or are we all just improvising and hoping it works?

When I stopped comparing myself to others, things felt saner. I knew from the beginning only a select few “retire” from agency life. So I mapped out options. I’ve had ups and downs, but I feel blessed about my journey. I try to quickly get over the road not taken.

I'm in the same boat. I don't feel on track at all. It doesn't get to me too much from day to day, but when I take a step back and think about where I am in life and where my career is headed, I feel a lot of anxiety. All the AI concerns are only making that worse. It makes it very hard to feel confident about the future of the industry as a whole.

I totally get that because those are the same convos my friends and I have been having. Some of my friends who make over 150k still think they should be making more or doing more.

Comparison is the thief of joy. I do think this industry grinds people so much it’s inevitable to have doubts and wonder what you may have missed
