Job Salary Discrepancy

Started working at a start-up approximately 3 months ago. A coworker and I somehow got into the taboo conversation of salary. I was absolutely shocked to find out that they make $65,000 more than me. We both hold the same position with fairy similar experience in our prior work. This taught me that I was absolutely shit at negotiating. During my interview they refused to give me a salary range and I fell for the trap. It’s my fault 100% Long story short I find out that out of the 5 of us with this position, I am the only one that didn’t negotiate correctly. The rest have a similar salary to the coworker above. So here is my question. Is there anything I can do to renegotiate my salary? Obviously I would never speak about private coworker conversations. It just sucks to realize I’m 65,000 less than my peers…

A coworker and I somehow got into the taboo conversation of salary.

I was absolutely shocked to find out that they make $65,000 more than me. We both hold the same position with fairy similar experience in our prior work.

This taught me that I was absolutely shit at negotiating. During my interview they refused to give me a salary range and I fell for the trap. It’s my fault 100%

Long story short I find out that out of the 5 of us with this position, I am the only one that didn’t negotiate correctly. The rest have a similar salary to the coworker above.

So here is my question. Is there anything I can do to renegotiate my salary? Obviously I would never speak about private coworker conversations.

It just sucks to realize I’m 65,000 less than my peers when I’m working so hard and relied upon for so many projects.

Thank you!
