I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

I would dead set lose my mind over this 😡

Oh my mind is definitely lost. Not to mention he has so much free time on his project that he’s actually picking up other projects for extra cash with the company. Which is not included in the amount he told me. Because I asked.
There is a limited amount of these “extra projects“ for grabs, guess who has them all.

I would straight up address this disparity with them or HR…..if nothing is done get a lawyer and sue.

Just figured I would update everyone. After a 45 minute phone call that I requested, I was able to negotiate a “possible 2% raise if approved“ and an Amazon gift card.
I mentioned the 20% discrepancy between my pay and the market average (I did not throw my coworker under the bus as I’m sure everyone wanted me to do) and I was basically told there was nothing they could do because this is the labor category they hired me under and it’s based off of the amount they get from their contract.
The 2% raise would be an increase of $39.58 a pay period before taxes, if approved.
Fun times.

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.
