New job guilt

Now that I have a new job, I get paid way more than I did at my last one. More than twice as much. I work only slightly more hours, and my work is marginally more difficult. I don’t have to deal with clients nearly as much, and they’re much more well-behaved. I have a much better support staff around me. I feel guilty now that I have a nice job, like I don’t deserve these things because I’m used to having a shitty job with shitty pay. Fuck work culture for making me feel like I don’t deserve the things that I do. This is what all jobs should be like, but because so few are, it feels too good.
