I know a colleague with same experience/years makes $10k more than me. But, recruiter begged me not to bring up that i knew to the firm. Now i feel snubbed because i really didnt have other offers that made sense. How do I bring it up to mgmt in my pre-review evals? Kind of seems like I cannot at this point but curious if anyone can relate/figure it out? This person also works in our insurance department and puts in about half the hours that I do.

Their salary is not your business. It shouldn’t be used as a reason for you to get a raise. You need to come up with real reasons for why you personally are worth more. Them making more than you doesn’t mean you should be paid more or the same.

I agree here. You dont know the reasons for them to make more. Years of experience is only one of many factors. If years of experience is literally the only factor that determines comp, then yes, you should make the same, but thats not how it works

Maybe they are better at the job, more valuable

My main partner says it should end in the next month, but I don’t expect that to happen. Is it a terrible idea to ask to be taken off?
