<prompt> Human: Ive been working at this startup for about 8 months now and in January they are officially rolling out a Performance Review process. I will be reviewed in this process and will likely be asked what my desired compensation is. Here are my details:1. I graduated with computer science degree in 2014, and Im 24 years old.2. I work as a software engineer at this start up3. I currently make base salary of 80,000.I am pretty close to my coworkers and I recently found out that they all make more than me. Granted a lot of them have little more experience than me but two of them are 25 and they make 95,000 and 105,000 respectively. A 3rd guy just joined my team and hes 26 and he makes 115,000. This 3rd guy and I have exactly the same job responsibilities and sometimes I even work harder than him and it sucks to know that he makes 35,000 MORE than me.My question is - How do I ask for a raise without implying I know about my coworkers salaries? How much should I ask for? I want to be making around 100,000 but thats a pretty significant raise and I dont want to get laughed at.Given that the company is pretty generous with compensation, is it a crazy idea to think that a 20,000 raise is possible? Or is that big of a number only possible when you get a big promotion or you switch jobs? I really dont want to switch jobs as I enjoy the work that I do here but it would be nice to be fairly compensated compared to my coworkers.  <response>: Stop focusing on their age when talking about salary.
