I recently found out that a white team member who does the exact same job I do, on the same client, makes $30,000 more than me.

Sounds about white

Does this team member have the exact same experience as you? Did you negotiate comp/salary review cycles when you joined? Have they received any merit promos that you’re unaware of? I’m not saying you shouldn’t be upset AND that you shouldn’t request a review, raise, and/or consider jumping ship—but there are other factors that play into final comp packages other than title/account. Yes the system is definitely fucked. Not everyone is going to make the exact same on paper, this why there are salary bands but that is a big gap and you should gather all facts before approaching the subject with your manager(s).

SrCW1 You may think it’s irrelevant, but sad reality is it’s not always. I’m trying to provide OP more context as someone who does this all day, every day. Sometimes we be doing too much responding with quippy one liners instead of trying to help one another 🖤

The reality is you’re most likely going to have to leave. You could fight for more comp or a promotion but if you’re undervalued now how much can you really do to change that.

Ask for more money. Now you know you can add 30k or more to your bag

Sounds like it's time to have a conversation about your comp. You now know the price your work is valued at, they need to meet that price or you'll move on and find someone who will. This shit is so annoying because they're not even trying to be sneaky about it anymore!

Good god

This is pretty common sadly because people often don’t negotiate or ask for a raise (not saying that you didn’t). Employers want your number as low as possible.

I see that you’re a Strategy Director. Are at a holding company and how much do you make now?

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️
