I think this is normal - you are hired due to your external experience, but you're promoted based on what you do at the company.

I fell into this trap and left the company over it. Promised a fast track based on previous experience - which they discounted to zero when started. Will never enter at a lower role based on a promise again

Been here - it benefits the firm to keep you at a lower rank longer. Better margin on your time. They typically offer one rank lower than the approximate equivalent in industry unless you have "consulting experience".

You’re a recruiter. Kinda glad to see recruiters suffer.

What would you do?

Your teammate with the same title and pay as you is at your desk all the time for help. I'm definitely open to helping - but sometimes "help" is basically the whole job - it feels like I'm doing both jobs lol and it almost feels unfair that we both get paid the same or very close (Colorado, so pay transparency). The teammate has been with the company for longer than me.
