<prompt> Human: Im 21 and in February I got my first real job that pays 25K. This guy I work with is 27 and has been working there for about 9 months. He told me the other day he started at 32K. We have the same exact position in the company. So I have this idea that in about one month when Im most comfortable in the job and can prove my worth that Ill request a review and pay increase. Do I tell them I know what my partner started at? Obviously while focusing on my value to the company. Like I said earlier this is my first real job in a corporationoffice setting so I dont really know how to go about this. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!  <response>: Im 21 and just got my first real job that pays 25K in February. This guy I work with is 27 and has been working there for about 9 months.
