How do you know if you are underpaid? I make 110K and have been in this role for 3 years with strong reviews. New hires seem to be coming in around the same number. Am I getting played?

That's not uncommon, for new hires to be brought in at a comparable salary. I would recommend checking other positions similar to yours and see the salary range. Most likely yes, you are underpaid. That's why they say people who change employers every couple of years make more than someone who's been with 1 company. Not many companies honor loyalty. If they don't want to increase your salary, see if there are other areas (more PTO, stock ownership etc) they can compensate you.

Played for sure!

Our pay ranges are pretty compact. Seems like new or old people in the same position make about the same amount. The difference only is noticeable between positions

I'm not sure if you're getting played, but I would definitely ask for a salary audit. Especially considering the cost of living increases and inflation. It's possible that you're making less than people with your experience and education in your area.

The best way to find out is by looking around jobs in your area and see what they are offering. I've noticed that salaries in insurance aren't going up as quick as they used to, but new hires are still getting a bigger bonus than loyal employees are getting in raises.

You’ll know when you’re underpaid, trust me.
