Off-topic.. but how do y'all deal with LinkedIn induced anxiety?
I mean I feel I am doing fairly well in life, have a good academic background, a well paying job, keep trying to continuously upskill also.. yet everytime I open LinkedIn I feel I am going nowhere. Everyone is getting promoted or moving abroad or winning awards. Even these 21-22yo kids have like 10 internships listed in their experience. 🤯
Can't even stay off of it, as I need it to network and find jobs. 🥲
Someone help please!🥺

Take some time off LinkedIn, that’s the only solution or else we will get trapped in the cycle. I am also doing the same, currently LinkedIn has become like all other social media.
Take time off, feel better and then start again to network and look for jobs

Thanks for considering my ideas, let me share my short story:
i worked as support engineer started from 1.5 Lac and after 7 years i was stuck(made my self stuck for being in comfort zone) with 3.4 Lac package when i left
joined TCS as SQL DBA currently 7 Lpa, 8.6 yrs of experience

now i have learnt SQL DBA, Mongo, Azure SQL, A hint of powershell
all this i learnt and switch my job because i saw people on LinkedIn switch and asked them what and how to do

many ignored but few helped, few are actually helping currently help me grow

so what i said before, i am speaking for my experience, rest i am sure you'll get over it and do wonders with your life
