>31yr scrum master in the IT department of a normie corporation
>make $120k, 6% 401k match, 9-5 hours, work fully remote, no work on the weekends unless there's a system release which is like twice a quarter honestly

my friends are all either lawyers, doctors, work in actual FAANG tech companies, or do some high finance VC/IB shit. all of their salaries are at least double mine, all put down payments on houses that are either really fucking nice and/or in really desirable areas, and none of them work crazy hours. i'm happy for them and want them to succeed but i'm literally the bum of the group and i feel like a failure. how do i cope? it's hard to stay motivated at work.

live like a miser for the next 15 years, saving every penny. buy used clothes, give yourself haircuts, only buy protein on sale, buy bottom shelf booze.

and then you retire. by then you'll be used to spending very little money, so whatever you've saved will last you. and that's it, you've won

TLDR; OP is a faggot, whining about making $120k a year with a cushy job, because he is still poorer than his friends.

My advice, OP? Stop comparing yourself to other people. Your job is literally nothing like your friends, so comparing your salary and theirs is pointless. It's an apples to oranges situation.

Also just because I'm nice OP, you're most realistic options to make bank are expanding your tech skills and going into FAANG or starting your own business. The easiest way by far to make 7 figures is starting your own business. The income you can get from owning your own business will dwarf all those jobs except partner level big law or private equity.

Anon anyone with $200 can become an official certified scrummaster. You have no in dept knowledge. Your main job is enforcing a framework which doesn't fit 90% of the organisation, the only reason it's implemented is because most managers don't know the stuff his team does and having a product owner and scrummaster is the perfect scape goat. Scrum makes the people who actually do the hard work very unhappy. Your only solution is having an other call, having an other promise how we will do it better next time etc. Don't compare yourself to Docters, Lauwers etc. Compare yourself to bureaucrats at local government.

>scrum
Sr. Sysadmin here, and have no idea or care what "scrum" means or is, but it's on my resume and I am an expert at it. These ghey acronyms hit sometime in the late 2000's, that's when I realized IT is full of faggots. Now I prey on companies for an IT paycheck and literally do nothing as much as possible. I just tell HR roasties I've been "in Windows" since 1994 and they cream and I get an interview with a closet faggot 30-someting hiring manager that doesn't know anything outside of taking cock.
