I learned that someone we just hired, in the same team, 1 level lower, came in making 20k more than me. This role is based in SF, and I'm in the midwest.

I have my master's, two years with the company, and was recently promoted last quarter.

I feel some way about this, and I'm wondering if I should bring this up with my manager? I'm grateful for the raise they gave me and the promotion last quarter, but I don't understand how someone at a lower level can be making more? I'm I being greedy?

Reply? Forget it, I'm all set.

Yep, 10 mins is too long. Here I was expecting "Wow! That's fantastic!" How silly of me.
