Yes. It's difficult to be part of a group where the expectation generally is that you're well compensated, in high demand, companies competing for you with multiple great offers etc. - and you're experiencing none of this yourself. Especially over the last few months there's been a lot of talk about how hot the job market is right now - going through an unsuccessful job search at the same time has been tough (several months, zero offers). Another part of it is your own expectations of yourself. If you were doing great earlier in life (e.g. school/university), it's a very humbling experience to find yourself on the low end of the distribution.
