Wealthy Background Ruining My Career Credibility? 😰💼

Hey everyone, I'm really struggling and need your honest advice 😔 I come from a pretty wealthy family - trust fund, private schools, the whole package. Now I'm 26 and trying to build my own career in marketing, but I feel like my colleagues don't take me seriously. Whenever I share ideas in meetings, I catch people rolling their eyes like "oh here goes the rich kid again." 🙄 My manager even made a comment about how I "don't understand real struggle" when I suggested a budget increase for our campaign. I'm starting to wonder - did having everything handed to me actually stunt my growth? Or am I just overthinking this? Part of me thinks I should hide my background, but that feels dishonest. I genuinely want to succeed on my own merit, but how do I prove that to people who've already made up their minds about me? 😕 Has anyone else dealt with this kind of workplace bias? How did you handle it? 💭 #JobCareer #WorkplaceBias #CareerStruggles
