Nobody can look down on you unless you do that to yourself first. People here are just random strangers on the Internet, and what we think about you shouldn't be relevant to what you're actually worth. You choose the people to compare yourself with. There's really no point in choosing a group to compare yourself with if it makes you feel sad and inferior. Maybe you're in a bad spot now (judging from your username) but don't let money and "career achievements" determine your worth. In the end, very very few people, even in tech, are able to accomplish actually meaningful things beyond getting a paycheck and feeding their families. (I mean, for example, would I want to be Mark Zuckerberg? Probably not, being responsible for creating a mostly toxic social network isn't necessarily something to be proud of as my legacy.) You probably need to reorient yourself, trust that your value doesn't just come from the number in your paycheck or how high you climb the corporate ladder, and figure out your own reason for getting out of bed every morning. I mean, I know it's easier said than done, but I can only say what I can say here. Good luck.
