No - Im much more highly educated. [/quote]

How about age?  If he is significantly older than you, he may have gotten a higher salary from annual raises and job changes, and he negotiated a higher starting salary for his position based on his prior earning history.

I've had older staff reporting to me that made more money than me because they had been in the industry 10-15 years longer than I had and had that much more earning history than I did.[/quote]

Op has already said she has more experience as well. [/quote]

Op has an axe to grind though. Clearly isn't looking for any justifiable explanation - which could be as simple as the person negotiated strongly coming in, has had some significant wins or otherwise is particularly strong in some dimension that the company values. Perhaps that persons experience, while comparable in years, perhaps comes from that of a competitor and therefore has some incremental value. Just because you are senior to someone doesn't mean you are categorically more valuable.

I think op has a reasonable concern around salary compression, but "I'm older" isn't especially compelling. [/quote]
