For me, finding out that my more skilled colleagues make more money than me would be encouraging. It would mean that if I learn more, I could possibly get a raise.
The bad news is to find out that the people whom I admire because of their god-like skills actually make the same money as I do. That means that I have most likely already hit the financial ceiling.
- xpe 6y ago> god-like skills I recommend that you disabuse yourself of such a comparison. Arthur Clarke is famous for saying "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." As you build your knowledge and skills over time, you may find that others are just as impressed by you as you were by this other person.
- xpe 6y agoTo be clear, my comment did not say nor imply that better individually-skilled or talented employees would make less money. To elaborate on my comment: I'm suggesting that an employee's full value to the organization should be reflected in their pay. For example, someone with slightly less than average skill in some area (e.g. as indicated by project performance up to this point) may have other strengths.
