Seeking advice. I referred a former classmate of mine for a role at my company. They have the same years of experience in a similar role at another company. They received an offer and shared the base comp with me, which is almost $10k higher than my current base comp. Our title and level within the company are the same, just slightly different job descriptions in the same law department. Do I raise this at my year-end performance review next week if my raise to doesn’t get me to that level?

Yeah im sire recent hires are being paid more than me and I've been at company for 8 years...thats problem with being loyal you just get minimal 2-4% raise each year which usually means youre lagging market pay if you left and took comparable role elsewhere. At least you know. So either bring it up and ask to be paid same/more or if they dont, then stick it out or start looking for another job

This is normal as companies adjust salary bands periodically. Be happy for your friend and I personally wouldn’t raise it given the amount is not too much. It seems more appropriate to raise during performance reviews, and if you are unhappy about the pay, I’d look elsewhere.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
