Stop thinking about it. I have lived two years of my life in that fire where someone use to earn more than me. Not 1-2 lacs, more like 15 lacs. Same work, and she is dumb in many places.

But, guess what? I made peace with it. Everyone has their own journey and luck. Stop thinking about it. You're gonna waste your time and peace.

Just up skill yourself and that's all. Best wishes.

I know and I can understand, been there. But, I am at peace now. Things doesn't affect me anymore.
It will take time, if it's too much, just change the team, that's what I did.

Just remember there are other people who might be envying your salary also. We like to believe everything is under our control if we can just work hard enough. But truth is everything here is random.

Yeah, I totally agree. This is a factor out of my control but it still bothers me to a certain extent

There is absolutely no point in you getting panicked after seeing someone else is getting paid more than you irrespective of the fact that they are talented or not. You can never influence anyone to have a pay cut for others.

You check with your supervisor about getting a hike or promotion for you, try to sort it out there or find a job elsewhere. There are umpteen companies outside looking for talented people

So if that person was earning less than you or u didn't know his/her CTC then u would be going about normal right??
If yes....Then you will never be happy...cuz u ll always compare with others. It's just unnecessary jealousy.

Curios to know how got to know other's salary? 😂

Compare the age

Something they would have done better than you which is why getting paid more than you..may be better in presenting what they are doing.. may be better in interview or better in making connections.. Hard to digest but yeah.. !

Switch marle

Switch..
