I have never been comfortable talking about my salary. There are 3 possible outcomes for these type of conversations: You’ll feel bad that someone is earning more than you You’ll feel good because you are earning more than somebody else Your emotions (sometimes ego) are not affected by these conversations and you genuinely feel contented by what you have.
