Everyone else has approximately the same amount of difficulty getting the }*}^{*#*]$}*ing thing to work as you did.

The genre of this changes over time and your toolbox for dealing it deepens, but this feeling basically never goes away.

Don’t worry about it.
Also: optimize early career for working at a company with a strong engineering culture and where you’ll own something important. This will maximize for skill growth.

Subject to that constraint, optimize for money, with an amount of aggression appropriate to a professional.
Lawyers/doctors don’t need to have angst over what the market pays them and neither do you.
