Holding the recognition
I found myself weighing my successes against hers and holding the recognition I got for them up to the standard of her achievements.
Does it mean that this person was not only comparing his successes with hers, but also comparing the recognition he received with the recognition she received?

Hi I can't find the source for your quote, but I'd say you have it exactly right. A 'standard' is something that you use to measure the quantity or quality of something else. But it is also a military flag that is held up in battle to remind troops of their bravery, courage and victories in the past.

- (The two meanings must be related) 'Held up' is echoed in the middle of the sentence so, yes, the writer is saying: I did things and didn't feel that anyone noticed - my successes were never used as an example to others.
- She achieved things and they were held up as something that other people respected That's my reading of it Dave
