<prompt> Human: So, I wasnt even concerned about this up until recently. I always thought I was doing pretty well for my age, but lately having been on the job search and meeting so many people at companies who are above me, but younger than me, I am starting to feel like a complete failure.My salary base has never gone above 70K. With bonuses, in the past Ive made up to 80K but I dont put much stock in bonuses because theyre based on revenue goals that arent always met. Im 27 and live in Chicago. I have a college education. I work in salesmarketing, so I know Id make more if I were an engineer but that is a skill set I just dont have. I always thought I was doing okay until I started interviewing at new companies during my recent job search and I keep meeting directors and supervisors who are no older than 25! I got my first job right out of college and took no time off. Ive always applied to senior roles, but never gotten them. How is it possible that these much younger people, who have fewer years of experience than I do, are doing so much better than me?I just feel like a total failure. I dont know how this even happened, when its not like I slacked off or stopped working for years on end. How is it possible that every person I meet makes more money than me, and is younger than me? I know money isnt everything but Im starting to feel incredibly pathetic.  <response>: Seriously, you are complaining about 70k a year ? Stop whining and enjoy what you have, its already amazing !!! It really is a great salary !
