Worrying About Prestige

context: incoming at a decently well regarded group (usually in the A or S category of the tier lists) and from semi-target/target

All the time, I worry about prestige. I compare myself to those who got a better Summer offer, have a better GPA, etc. and I feel worse about myself and my career prospects after banking. I am wondering if anyone else feels this too, and for those that have dealt with it if there are good strategies to employ (to be grateful)
