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. 💭 Thoughts?

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

This is such a relatable situation! Do you feel like HR truly maxed out the budget, or was it just a negotiation tactic?

Did you ask HR for a breakdown of their budget cap? That can sometimes clarify things.

@a product manager never thought of this! Maybe a good learning for next time

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Salaries often vary based on unseen factors like previous pay or specific skills.

Yaar, HR ke ‘maxed out’ ka kya matlab tha? Sometimes it’s just to avoid further discussion. 😅

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

@bugmaster we basically do the same job. Will it make any difference on how they pitch
