I work in one of the big 4 tech companies, and I make reasonable money. However, I have this problem that whenever I hear about another company that pays more for the same role, or another person who get paid more, my day is usually ruined. I get unhappy and feel like a failure.
I understand this is not a healthy way, and this is not the correct way to think about life, but I am not able to help it.
Most commonly people tell me to enjoy work, but most work is basically crap at any of the big four - so I feel like I should aim for money instead.
Does anyone else feel like this? How do you get over this nonsense, and be happy with pay instead?
