The Story in Brief
Entrepreneur and content creator Ankur Warikoo has advised young professionals not to compare their career progress with others on social media. In a LinkedIn post, he recalled a conversation with a 22-year-old who felt she had made no impact after six months in her first job. Warikoo said six months is too short to judge a meaningful career.
Warikoo argued that the instant nature of modern life, from food to entertainment, fuels the pressure to achieve quickly. Social media amplifies this by showing only others' successes. He urged consistency over speed, saying skills and confidence build gradually. 'The most meaningful things in life take time,' he wrote.
The Indian Opinion
Warikoo's advice is sensible but hardly new. The real problem is that many young Indians face structural disadvantages, poor mentorship, high competition, stagnant wages, that patience alone cannot fix. Social media is an easy villain, but the anxiety it amplifies often has material roots. Instead of telling the young to wait, we should ask: how many entry-level jobs today offer a genuine path to growth, not just busy work?
