Ask HN: Why do I constantly feel that I am not good enough or doing enough?
I work for a company in bay area for a miserable salary of $105k. I am 30. Although salary is peanuts I work for reputed company.
I constantly feel that I am doing enough and also I am not good enough. I am trying to get a solo project started and eventually I want to create my own startup but I don't know front end design.
I have some really cool ideas , I am good with analytics and working on latest products.
It seems that everyone else is doing startup and becoming multimillionaire but I am at rock bottom. Anyone else feel same ? What did you do beside keep trying for it ?
- slater 11y ago105k? Miserable? Peanuts?! I think you need to reassess that view. Also, don't compare yourself to others.
- greenyoda 11y ago"I work for a company in bay area for a miserable salary of $105k." There's an easy test to see whether your salary is too low: try looking for another job. If you can get a job offer at a higher salary, your salary was too low. If not, then it's probably close to the market rate for your skills and experience. "It seems that everyone else is doing startup and becoming multimillionaire" Most startups fail, so their founders aren't becoming millionaires (and their employees are getting part of their compensation paid in worthless stock). But since the media likes writing about successful startups much more than failing startups, it gives the impression that creating a successful startup is easy and everyone is doing it.
