Moral of this story is that shakycoder needs to find a new job. A junior developer earning 20k more based on a supposed 6 months experience?

  That was an odd part of the story. If you make less than someone, you're not really "mentoring them" in that.

    That part read as jealousy to me. I have some friends who make more than me and I do nothing but congratulate them.

      It is jealousy and it's fully justified jealousy. It's not just some buddy who makes more than you, because he was lucky getting a better job. The person in question is incompetent, 100% not fit for the job, a fraud and adds negative value for the company. Would you be happy and congratulate him on making more than you do?

        He wasn't "lucky" to get a better job. He got it. It's not a lottery. You apply, and someone hires you. If you want a better job, go get it.

          The "lucky" friend was just for juxtaposition. The point of my post was not about the role of luck or lack of it in getting a job.

      And you would still do that if they were complete frauds?

  He could probably walk right in to the job his mentee was fired from - he even has a contact at the company.
