Hi All, My sister has done Computer Science engineering Bachelor degree and has 5 years of work experience in India. She is applying for MBA at https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mba/full-time-mba/ and https://kelley.iu.edu/programs/full-time-mba/academics/majors-minors/marketing.html. Her overall goal is to get into Software Product management. Any suggestions if any of these MBA’s can open path in the desired space or if she is better of doing an MS in Comp engg. to further develop deeper Technology skills. Thanks

I’m just going to be brutally honest. If:
1) they use it to rub it in your face, they’re not a “friend” or
2) if you’re not happy for your friend for successfully landing a higher salary relative to their experience (despite how annoying it may be), then you’re not a “friend”
Use your knowledge (that someone with lower qualifications can demand your current salary) to get ahead at the next place. In the meantime be happy for your friend.
McCann 1 Thank you for the positivity. You’re right!
I can understand feeling some ire at your company for deciding you’re not worth “more” than someone with less experience, but that’s not your friend’s problem. They did exactly what everyone should do when negotiating salary: use all data available to get the maximum salary they can. Looking at this as some kind of revenge they were trying to get against you personally is way off base (and sort of narcissistic tbh). Negotiate your own raise based on this if you want!

How is this competing with you? It’s a reference point for their salary negotiation. They’d be crazy not to ask for it. Go them for negotiating, far too few people do!
I think is the wrong attitude to have about this situation. No need to get bent out of shape about what other people are making. Compare and despair. Hopefully you get a referral bonus though!
Crabs in a bucket
I also appreciate it
I think you’re directing your anger at the wrong person…if they match your salary, and you’re more qualified than your friend, then that just means your boss should be paying you more.

You say that it's your friend who has an issue with green eyed envy but it looks like it may be you. Take positivity in that you helped your friend get a better paying job. And if that doesn't work remember that your task is your job, your pay, and doing good... their tasks are theirs. :)
You are going down my friend. hahaha
Yeah, you're right, this might happen in the future. Just hold on, prove yourself and mind your own business.
Good luck! 💥
Will do! Thank you for being one of the few who gets it!
Are you upset you're relatively getting paid less for having more experience in comparison to your colleague? I'd feel the burn too but nobody took anything from you.
@OP you’re friend has envy or you? Also, can we stop calling this person a friend. They are an acquaintance. Friends don’t talk about each other or treat each other like this.
You know… all this issue of experience vs title vs pay feels like a validation that full pay transparency breeds toxic wuddabout culture.
Off topic, I know, but still…
Just relax and be happy for others. Go reread my point about healthy competition and growth! Love life!
I’d fucking kill to hire a friend as a peer, even if they were completely out of their depth. To have someone who’s got my back and that I could train/skill up is the dream!
Didn’t expect this thread to get so much feedback. Thank you to those who gave sound, critical advice without being disrespectful. I think I know what I need to do! :)
Joking aside, I hope the thread was healthy and helpful
Never underestimate your political environment!
Comparison is the thief of joy! Be happy for your friend. 🙂
