I make $92K and just found out the new grad on my team is making $97K. They’re great, but I’ve been with this company for 3 years. I manage major client relationships, train every new hire, and regularly step in on weekends to keep things moving. I’ve consistently exceeded goals and never asked for much, so to find out that someone fresh out of school is starting higher than me… it hit hard. Should I bring this up with leadership? Or is it smarter to just start planning an exit.

Been there. Have you asked for raise or promo? And if so, how many times since you’ve had the conversation with your manager. I would asked myself if I’ve exhausted all the internal opportunities, if the answer is yes the it’s time to go.

It’s common for an external hire to get more then some tenured employees in the same exact level and role.

Like the old saying, ‘the squeaky wheel gets the grease.’

New hires pretty much always make more. But also, in this case, you’re not so far off. $5k more is nothing. It’s a bigger issue when new hires get 10% or 20% more. Someone making few thousand more than you really isn’t much to make a fuss about. It’s pretty normal and I’ve personally seen much worse.

But if really bothers you, you can ask for a market adjustment to the $97k. It’s not much more so perhaps they will be open to it. But the best time to negotiate wouldve been at the time of offer. But you can still try it. And personally, I would only plan an exit if the new hire was making a ton more.

You also have to take into consideration that generally, people who make more than you maybe have more overall experience, more skills, higher education, etc. You really can’t expect companies to give every single person in a department the same exact salary. That’s just not what happens. Also, people get what they negotiate. This new grad though has less experience than you likely has better negotiation skills and hence landed a bit of a higher salary.

Again…it’s only $5k. Totally normal and not the end of the world. But do what you feel is best in the end.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
