Learning that a teammate with less experience is making more than I do is demoralizing, to say the least. I want to ask for a bump to match their pay (at least!), but I’m not sure how to word it so I don't sound like I'm just complaining. Do I even have a solid case to request a raise based on what I've found out?

You can ask, but be prepared for the worst. There's a number of legitimate reasons your coworker is making more but sometimes it simply comes down to better negotiating skills. Theres no law that dictates that everyone makes the same.

Worst case, they say no. Best case, you get adjusted or at least a clear timeline. Either way, you get information. And if they brush it off completely, that tells you something important about how much they value retention.

Crazy how’s this is the norm…

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
