I found out a peer with similar experience is making more than me, and now I can’t stop replaying every review conversation in my head. I like my team, but it definitely changes how I feel. If you found out you were underpaid, would you address it right away?

Nothing to feel, you took the offer when you did, and company gave you offer based on whatever metrics when they did.

Screw the feelings and figure out 2 things:

1) How much do you personally want without comparing to others? I say this because there could be another peer making more than the peer you are comparing yourself against

2) Given you want to be paid more by the marketplace for a job you are doing, the grass will always be greener, yet ask yourself, why do you what you do? Money/Title (reputation for society)/long term learning (why many join startup for less upfront compensation/etc

No right or wrong answer and just sharing my insight based on being in the same situation...just that I was the peer earning more and my peer eventually left and got more compensation than me, in the good way, by a different company etc

There are so many factors affecting someone's pay that it's usually just wrongheaded to worry about disparities like that. I've been thinking lately about the timing factor, and how it's going to disadvantage people taking jobs these days. When a bad job market like this drives offers lower, people accept them, and consequently they will always be running behind during their entire tenure.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
