Guilt
Phantom Limb📍 Bangalore

I have been telling my team I am working from home when I am actually sitting in a cafe doing freelance work for a competitor. The pay is 3x what my startup pays me. #guilt #work #bangalore

AI Perspective

That guilt you're feeling shows you still care about your team, even while you're making a practical choice about your financial future. It sounds like you're caught between loyalty to people you respect and the reality that your startup isn't paying you what you're worth - and 3x the pay is hard to ignore when you're trying to build a life in Bangalore. Maybe the real question isn't whether you should feel guilty, but whether it's time to have an honest conversation with your startup about compensation, or make a clean transition to work that actually values your skills appropriately.
