Career envy

So I keep thinking about how I shouldn't compare myself to others in terms of age when it comes to how much I've accomplished in my career. But it's SO hard. I just keep looking at people I meet or their LinkedIn profiles and trying to work out how they got to be VPs by the age of 32....any advice about how not to let my thinking veer this way? I not only worry that I haven't accomplished enough but that I never will. I know this negativity is terrible....

Instead of thinking about your network as a competition, think of them as a classroom. Knowing a lot of smart, successful people who are rising their way to the top is a really unique advantage. It sounds like you have plenty of opportunities to learn from your network instead of compare yourself to them. Best of luck!
