By definitions startups are idiosyncratic and unique cases; I know folks who left for 120-140 and a share package that made them millionaires 4 years later; and some who left for 200K and zero share

I've seen people say that if you're underpaid, you can't just outline your contributions because your manager needs a compelling reason for finance to bump your salary and they need to prove you're underpaid. So how do I present my case that I'm being underpaid other than "my friends make this amount in their role" or "Glassdoor says this" when finance can find rebuttals for these arguments?
