I’ve never looked at it like that. I don’t think my career will or necessarily should look like someone’s whose started or ended ten years before or after me. That isn’t really how any part of life works - real estate, schooling, athletics, parenting, investments. Problems aren’t resolved but rather accumulate when people assume or demand uniformity over time where it isn’t likely, possible or appropriate.

Now, if we start/end or enter/exit at roughly the same time and do the same work…sure - similar benefits are indeed appropriate.
