I have recently joined a company in a senior position that is offering me a lower salary compared to my junior colleague. The junior, in the sense that she has less experience (1-2 years) compared to me, with 4 years of experience in the same industry. The salary offered for both of us is below market standards. I feel this is a huge insult to my experience and time spent learning the skills. Also, I didn't have bargaining power or negotiate my offer better as I got laid off due to Covid and was desperately looking for a job for 6 months.
What should I do?
Should I discuss this issue with my manager/HR and ask for a raise? Should I seek new job opportunities?
