<prompt> Human: I am in my early 30s. I work for a large company on the west coast and was recently promoted and given a 10 pay raise. I currently supervise 3 analysts. I discovered this week, through internal website, that one of the analysts that reports to me makes about 8 more than I do. My initial reaction was WTF?. However, he is in his mid 40s and has 4-6 more years of experience than me in the workforce as well as in this field. Just looking for advise from anyone that has worked with salary budgeting or been in this situation. Is this normal or out of line?  <response>: However, he is in his mid 40s and has 4-6 more years of experience than me in the workforce as well as in this field.Theres your answer. His age doesnt so much matter. His experience in this field likely does.
