>> Come salary review time, I'd be asking for a huge raise, because clearly the company has the cash to throw around, and if they're handing out 50+% raises, my value must have also increased.
Nope. The company isn't increasing those people's salaries because they are suddenly more valuable. It is doing it so that they can actually live somewhat comfortable lives in an expensive city.
Other than that, I would advise that you stop looking at salaries as a way to compare yourself to others. You will be a happier person.
