1. Ask why they are being compensated more.
2. Ask when your compensation will be raised to be commensurate with your experience and value.
3. Start answering recruiter outreach on LinkedIn and applying to roles.
4. Stop trying as hard.

One factor to consider is if you both were hired in the same job market. At several companies, folks hired during this past 24 months were offered higher compensation than those hired prior to that.

If that doesn't apply... simply decide if you actually want to continue working there. You could ask every why or how question in the book. Will it be more worth it to your career to advocate for proper compensation at one company or to apply and negotiate higher compensation elsewhere?

Update your resume and test out the waters.

And personally I don’t like sharing much about my family or personal life so the small talks thing is very annoying to me. He’s super nice and I like him a lot but I just don’t feel like we should try hard to get to know each other via small talks.
