Of course se sees the world with a slant that favors the blue-blooded, top school, top tier bias - we all see it from where we sit and his chair is pretty much resting atop a mountain of money that this worldview made for him.
Jimmy does take shortcuts. He does use methods that are definitely impermissible and likely flat out illegal. For someone that created a monster from the ground up and has been insulated at the top of that monster for years, that's absolutely going to rub him raw.

Prior to Chuck giving it to him without lube the first time, he didn't do anything impermissible, he just went to an online school, of which he obviously busted his butt to learn the law and learned enough to pass the bar. After Chuck ****ed him in the asshole, then he had went back to do desperate/dumb things. It wouldn't have been inappropriate for Jimmy to be come an associate at the firm, as long as he wasn't reporting to Chuck.
What Jimmy should have done was to go get a job at a different firm, rather than try to set out on his own. I don't think they addressed that in the show, but it would have been a lot easier road for him if he would have got on at a different firm.
