Thank you for sharing this so openly. I often look at the profiles of people I admire and feel like I’m not good enough, despite achieving and overcoming a lot on my own path. This fuels impostor syndrome. Peer comparison starts so early in life that it becomes second nature, making it hard to truly appreciate our own accomplishments. Your story offers a valuable reminder that it’s okay to run our own race. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your journey—it’s both reassuring and inspiring.

After facing over 100 rejections in the past six months and having my third surgery, I’ve been questioning everything—my life, my career, and whether I should stay in product management. Even though I’ve worked at Shopify and done well in big tech interviews, I still feel like a failure. Your post, Nikunj, really connected with me and gave me a bit of hope and a more positive mindset. Thank you.
