Jealously
Does anyone else get really jealous when they see other people in really prestigious elite jobs at the best firms? It's so much worse when you didn't make it and you constantly see all these people earning more than you probably ever will.
Even just scrolling through Linkedin can be absolutely rage inducing when you see people in a superior position doing so much better than you are.
Anybody feel the same way?
Can’t say I feel that way, but then again I’m a well-adjusted adult.

Sure maybe a little bit, but we each have our own path and spiritually they say "store your treasures in heaven." So I believe each work of mercy I do has a reward in heaven, which is eternal. LinkedIn is only temporary. Lots of people with prestigious backgrounds are in fact unhappy. Social media mostly just contains the good points in life.
Amen
OH MY GOD, WILL YOU GET A GRIP

I’m not familiar with her music. What jealousy song does she have?
Only when their last name matches the firm's name, their grandfather was the founder, and their dad is the CEO. Always figured that must be nice.
Seriously though, what is the point of being jealous of someone else's hard work and/or fortunate luck? What does it accomplish? Does it make you happier? Clearly not. Does it make you more successful? Nope.
Go out and improve your own station in life.
And with that mentality, you won't. I know quite a number of people who were nameless corporate drones until their 50s and they finally found their thing and hit it big. You're what - 23? 24? Why are you already giving up because some large company didn't like your resume formatting on the automated HR screener? Regret is something for your deathbed, not your early to mid 20s.
Again, go out and do one thing improve your situation tomorrow. Then do something else the next day.
Who scrolls LinkedIn? Is this genuinely something people do?
LinkedIn is nonstop cringe slop, posted by people who aren't actually as successful as they present, for people who are idolizing the wrong heroes.
Use LinkedIn to look up background info on people before you meet them and to see job postings. Do not use LinkedIn for mindless scrolling or entertainment.
Yeah it took Ray Croc until his 50s to become successful IIRC.
No one here does.
No because that isn't what I want for my own career. I prefer smaller companies vs. the brand names out there.
Everyone's different. If you're a good person and I genuinely see that in you regardless if we get along or not, I'll route for you and would love the chance to work with you across firms if it ever become feasible. If I find you two-faced / fake, I just don't care what you do with your career. I just would never do business with you if our paths ever crossed. Probably would say ~97% of my MBA class would fall into the first bucket. There are a few classmates I simply would never want to deal with in the professional world.
No matter how well you do, there will always be someone doing better. Find happiness and meaning in your accomplishments, and strive to be better not so you can post it on LinkedIn one day, but for yourself.
I’m assuming you’re young and just out of college. You will feel differently about these things as you grow older. Specifically about your career, do not worry about the earning difference between you and your peers at this stage. Most of your earnings will come from your 30s onwards, especially your 40s and 50s. Work now to build the foundation necessary to capitalize at that time.
Sounds like an inferiority complex. My advice is to use it to your advantage as motivation and fuel to work harder.
No.

Judging by your title spelled with an extra "L" "Jealously" ... it seems you have poor attention to detail and do not yet deserve to succeed like the others you see on LinkedIn... good luck with that.
Excuses, excuses...
Checks out. It’s midday on a Tuesday

Not at all. People who do, need to work on their self esteem.

Bro just do an MBA and go into a regional IB and then lateral or something. Hopefully you at least have a decent uGPA.
to be fair, Marquette is a solid hoops program
Have you tried binge drinking?
For me personally, it’s less about the jobs and more about the one that got away. Still think about her from time to time. She became an adult movie star
I'm glad that I get to flex on people like you
