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!

.... 30% people were layed off recently. 4. It's like a freelancing to work in GKN. They hold you with good package and work from home till project goes to sop. After that they will lay you off. 5. They don't even give you a proper notice.

Salary - Good

Dislikes

THERE IS NO FORECAST FOR >4 MONTHS. NO PROJECTS IN HAND. MANAGEMENT CONVENIENTLY SKIPS THE QUESTIONS RELATED TO FUTURE. 1) There is no concept of onsite/deputation. 2) GKN India is a service provider company of GKN Germany. No decision making happens in India. Even to click OK in some tools, Germans have to say yes. Managers in India don't get to say anything. 3) German junior engineers have more decision making power than Indian Managers. 4) There is no function (ASW) development. Only BSW/BLDR development happens in India. ASW projects are only maintenance and unit testing. 5) A LOT OF people have left the company for the above reasons. The attrition was more than 30%

Job security - Poor
