> perhaps unkind

Unnecessary? I sure don’t see people from my company point it out constantly. The superiority complex seems to be a Google only phenomenon in my experience. I guess that’s caused by constant external validation - perhaps it’s people like you that are “unkind” by flaunting your wealth and status while the rest of us have literally nothing.

The market has determined people like me are worth half of you or less. Please be cognizant of this.

Food for thought: there are people on this board that make an order of magnitude less, simply due to location lottery. Half of FAANG level is still far from nothing.
To be clear, I also work at a FAANG, doing very similar work but am consistently condescended to by these folks, literally everywhere from real life to online. The fact that I'm basically only worth 50% of them just adds insult to injury.
