I tire of these articles about freshers hiring onto Google, or Facebook or a FinTech company and adding up every possbile compensation element to come up with a number that is double what I make with decades of experience. It's like their identity and self worth is wrapped up in a total comp number.

You are making more than you will most anywhere else, do you like what you do?, are you gaining skills that will keep you ahead of the fresher coming in in 3 years. Do you have a social life outside of our google circle?

Be happy with your life, you are making more than you need, ask your parents what were the important decisions in their lives.
