New Job, Higher Pay, Now I’m Feeling Awkward

I’ve been at my new job for about six months now, and everything’s been going great! I’m getting positive feedback from my manager, and I get along well with the team. The thing is, when I started, my salary offer ended up being much higher than the initial number discussed during my interview. I didn’t negotiate and just accepted the offer. So, fast forward to happy hour with the team, and the topic of salary comes up. I, unfortunately, shared what I’m making, and let’s just say... it didn’t sit well with the others who have been on the team for years and make less than me. They weren’t mad at me, but now I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable and unsure how to handle this situation. Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you deal with it? Let’s chat!

Dislikes

With Marvell taking over Cavium Networks, the culture has changed drastically. Cavium had a great environment and had humanity. Do not join if you want job security (complete job security is a myth, i mean more security than Marvell.), they can fire at the drop of a hat because they are so bent on only profits. The human factor is missing. You will not even be conveyed why you got fired in the first place, the hr will just ask you to clear out in 48 hours, period. Sevarance packages are quite decent though. I am not judging their policy of firing, they are firing most probably to keep themsrlves profitable and thats how they prefer to run the show. But it wreaks havoc on the employees mind. Join at your own peril or seek some place which are a bit more human.
