OK I get it. It would be annoying to find out someone earns more than you for the same job role.

... but you got what you asked for - why wouldn't you be happy? Did you ask for an amount you wouldn't be happy with?

$85k, $115k & $125k are all just comfy salaries. None of you are filthy right, nor can the top earner afford much more than you on a daily basis.

Source: I've earned between $75k and $130k fluctuating for 8 years. Makes no difference to my standard of living.

You fucked up if they just take your offer without countering it.

you can demand a raise once you've been there for a while. there is always the threat you'll realize your real value and go to another company. given your salary you probably already know this, so im posting for others
