Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

I thought I was pushing it with $70k. 😆 thank you!

Have a competing offer as your leverage. Without leverage, you are asking for something which is easy for them to deny or to add peanuts.

I've been in this same position as you. "Market Analysis" means "find as many examples as you can of the lowest possible paid people with this title and use that as the benchmark" They look at the low end of the bell curve overall and ignore individual YOE or performance. You will likely never be valued at this company. Start looking for a new job. Counter, defend your position respectfully, and don't flinch if they say no. Just quietly say "i understand, thank you for the consideration", go about your day as normal, and jump at your first possible chance.

Can you outline the research you did to reach your conclusion?
