How to Deal with a Coworker Making More Money Than You

Too Long; Didn't Read

A poll carried on the professional social network - Blind, has revealed that 49% of professionals would quit if they found out a new employee made more money than they did. Over time, workers who have been in a job may earn less than new hires in the same position owing to an extremely competitive job market. It may be smart for professionals seeking raises to find a job elsewhere instead of negotiating their salary with their current employer. Employers often need to increase pay to hire experienced or in-demand workers when the need for workers outstrips the supply of available talent.
