It's true your salary is less but don't compare your salary with others. Try to learn new skills and enhance existing ones, set short term goals and long term goals.
Simultaneously, start attending interviews. It will increase your knowledge.
CTC is just a figure, your knowledge matters in the industry. If you're knowledgeable, companies will ready to pay high salary.
Keep faith and believe yourself.

I felt the same so i applied to another MNC. After I got a offer, i resigned. Now I'm serving notice period and holding 3 offer. I suggest you to do the same. All it takes is one week to prepare. If you switch you can easily get 100% Hike minimum

Don't feel depressed, use it as fuel to prepare for interviews and try to get more than your friend. and when he askes tell him a little less, so you get your new job + your friendship is still intact.
