I just found out a peer who has the exact same title and started six months after me is making 20% more cash base. We do the same work, sit in the same meetings, and I’ve actually been onboarding them on our internal systems. Should I use this specific data point to demand a market correction, or is that a trap?

It won’t help you. Offer in hand with threat to leave (assuming you’re serious on follow through) will have more impact.

Also remember that no two people are alike. You might think you know everything but you don’t.

That's typical. Definitely a gut punch, but nothing you can do about it. Keep asking for raises during reviews.

I am defending an eviction for a client who has given possession of the property (as of Nov. 30). Plaintiff’s complaint has one claim – possession. They did request relief for attorney’s fees. NJT/Final Hearing commenced 10/27, was only 30 min and was therefore continued to 12/20. Plaintiff had counsel at that time but they are no longer represented.  I want to file something notifying Court that Plaintiff claim is now moot, making sure that judgment is not entered that hurts (cont'd)..

Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
