Why you hire the external one and pay them MORE BASE salary than why the internal one is getting paid for doing the same role?

MS - agree. Just sharing my perspective as a hiring manager. I always perfect internal over external all else being equal. Also much quicker joining time for internal candidates.
If you stick around too long in a company, you become like a piece of furniture to them. You are useful, you are part of the company, but nobody thinks much about you.
Itโs impossible to ask not to compare if thatโs what organizations do, compre services, compare benefits,compare work loads, compare KPIs, compre YoY, etc.
We even compare the difference how external and internal employees work and what they bring.
I do think organizations should evaluate their pay based on market also I encourage people to not be loyal as loyalty doesnโt pay in the corporate world.
Just a thought about this
Thanks for your opinion.
