There was a role that required experience and your colleague interviewed best for it. Perhaps they were able negotiate up $5-10k because they sold themselves well or they were that much better than the other candidates. Maybe the market rate is a few $1,000 more now than it was a year or two ago. Regardless, $7k is splitting hairs, they’re not making much more than you.
They won’t pay you more than they have to. Why would they? Money goes to whomever has the confidence to ask for it! But the more you are paid, the more you have to worry about the expectations! It’s a balancing act!
Lol, you can ask all you want. There’s no guarantees. There’s a reason why job hopping is usually the way.
OP: Please never ever ever discuss salaries with your coworkers. No good comes from that. Someone always ends up being bitter.
May be they performed better in the hiring process so got higher end of pay range.
If you get better ranking in the performance reviews you should be getting higher % raises than him in future.
