Good on your new partner for being transparent with you. Shame on your agency for not doing the right thing.
I would ask for a raise, yes. But out of curiosity, does your new partner have awards? Is their book seriously impressive? Just trying to gauge if their higher salary was warranted in this situation since everyone walks a different path.
Id feel the same way if I were you, too. You have a case. Yeah I’d approach the subject and make the case that your level of experience is commensurate with the salary of your creative partner.
It’s worth it to make your case to your managers as they won’t know that it’s what you’re looking for unless you tell them. No one ever looks at aligning salaries automatically. Also make the case for fresh work you’ve done in the past year and/or organizational accomplishments. Don’t just make it about money but what you have brought to the table. Most likely they will increase your salary if they can so they can keep you happy. Oh and don’t our your partner as it’s not about him it’s about you.
Male Gay POC but why does it matter?
Is he 15k better than you?
Does he have 15k more awards than you?
Salary isn't just about how long you've worked, but about what you offer and can deliver.
Then make your case as well as you can about what you are bringing to the table. I’ve been in your shoes, if they value your work then it’s much easier for them to give you a $15k bump than go searching for someone not as good.
I would ask. Especially if you’re female, as it sounds like this new partner is male.
