I actually have been in the same boat, myself. While it does suck not to have as much money as this person, remember it does not validate how valuable you really are. You are beyond a paycheck. Do not get me wrong, either, a bigger paycheck, well, it is nice--but I also realize that you are really worth more then that piece of paper. Validation of what you earn and validation of who you are are two completely different things. Believe in who you are--you did mention you got a raise with your review...and believe me, I know it is hard, because truthfully, like I said, I have been there myself, but think of the raise from the review as validation of your work as being vital to the company. You have been there a lot longer than she has, you work harder, you must work better or else you would not of trained her or still have been there...Validate yourself, believe in yourself--perhaps after awhile ask for more money, but not right away, due to just having the review, but realize how vital you are to the organization.

Best of luck with this...
