I recently switched my job, and my new employers were asking if I could refer someone and I reached out to my junior (fresher, 1 YOE now) at my previous employer and got his resume and he was asking about how much compensation to expect.
The number he was expecting was 3x of my salary at my previous employer, naively i assumed that his compensation would <= as mine (I was more experienced and my performance was 📈) and told him : "with current market conditions it's difficult for that, you cannot expect 3x" and he tells me it's not 3x but 2x and I was like 😮. The compensation that he was Getting as a fresher was more than what I was getting paid despite having more experience. I had to switch job to get the same compensation that they are offering to freshers.
All this time my ex-manager and lead know about this and never fought on my behalf, I feel betrayed. Now my mood is all f***ed.
Full symathy with you, Atleast you came to know about this,you can set your next expectations properly, there are many who don't know such stuff happening and giving their 150% in job 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Exactly, I worked my ass off there
I came to know about my junior earning more than me when he asked me about tips for saving taxes 😂😂😂
Before that I came to know about my manager having less salary than me 😅😅😅😅
At my previous company they were paying more to freshers than me. I discussed about this pay disparity with my manager and his response was they were paying more because it's a new org and the projects are very important for the company growth.
This shittt doesn't make any sense to me at all...
They were paying me 10LPA 2 YOE.
For freshers they were paying 14 LPA
This feeling sucks but rest assured this happens more often than it should. I have no idea how less experienced folks get better in our industry.
We feel you ❤️🩹
