Comparing yourself to others is going to make you nuts. Stop it. Seriously.
Why not be THANKFUL you've got a job?
If you start with what you've got now, work to learn as much as you can while you're there, it will go a long way for you going forward.
- sadamznintern 8y agoI am thankful. But everyone gets a job out of undergrad with a CS degree. I think I'm one of the ~10 people in my 300 person CS program that got a job at a big tech company making more than $100k a year. That's not good enough. I'm not competing with them, I'm competing with people that went to HYPSM.
- akulbe 8y agoYou don't sound thankful. You sound entitled. Have you considered that even though you may consider FB or Google a better place to work, for status/pay... that you're already starting out INSANELY better with even Amazon, than the rest of the world gets? You can make this experience as good or as poor as you like. It's completely up to you. I say to make the best of it.
- akulbe 8y agoFor some perspective... I don't have a CS degree. I was a Business Major. I am now self-employed and going through common self-employment struggles. I'd venture a guess and say that you probably know more than I do about tech and programming... but I am making it. No HYPSM here. No Big5 tech companies on my resume.
