> We had completely different backgrounds and worked on different systems. I was on an async messaging platform and she did Java web development. I don’t buy this as the reason, it sounds like after the fact rationalization on your part to explain the status quo Did everyone on the async messaging team earn more than the java web developers? I could very easily see her earning more than you due to a multitude of reasons

Well the base salary for the tech stack I was working on at the time was substantially higher. Also I worked in another part of the country and she had spent 20 years working in the same company in a small town in Florida. Honestly there are more reasons why i was paid more then there ever would be to justify why she should have been paid the same. Also my team handled the product that delivered 80% of the companies revenue and 90% of its profits.
