Other people have also worked their asses equally off, and did not get where you are. They also deserved what they worked for and did not get.
It is pretty confusing that people use the same word "privilege" to refer to two different but related things, the ability to get away with things you shouldn't be able to (e.g., that "affluenza" kid in the news) and the ability to avoid harm that you don't deserve. The former is stuff nobody should have, and some unjustly do. But don't confuse it with the latter; stuff that everyone should have, and some unjustly don't.
People having high-salaried jobs without qualification is the first category. People having living wages and decent, safe working conditions is the second. We're not talking about whether people get to buy the latest Wu-Tang album, or even whether they can get a dev job in AWS. We're talking about working conditions at the Amazon warehouses.
