an associate consultant

We both joined on the same day and have similar work experience. I got to know that his salary is a bit higher than mine. Should I think that he negotiated well and secured that package and I was poor at negotiation? While the HR said we have maxed out the budget on this role. šŸ’­ Thoughts?

What to do if my peers have the same experience as mine and getting paid more

Could it also depend on how the role was pitched to them vs. you? What do you think?
