Is the sentence: "The longer I worked, the worse my career." A correct sentence?

The longer I worked, the worse my career is an example of what is usually called a double comparative. Such comparatives most commonly contain parallel structures, either with or without verbs. For example in clichés such as:

  • The bigger they come, the harder they fall.

  • The sooner, the better.

In your example there is faulty parallelism: a verb is missing in the second part. While its meaning is clear, it is grammatically questionable.
