Do you feel severely underpaid? I definitely do and feel like my options are limited with the current job market.

Underpaid, yes. Severely, no. I'm in the middle of the average for my role, but I'm also doing work that goes far beyond what I was brought on to do. Wish I could leave or push for an increase, but in this market, neither is easy to do.

Oh no this is why I do the bare minimum but do it well. These employers will take advantage of you every time.

I’m slightly underpaid currently but (hopefully) I’ll be promoted this cycle which should fill that gap

Otherwise I’m just going to ask for additional compensation and see where it goes (all they can say is no so why not try)

Good luck!
