Hourly rate for junior/mid copywriter in-house at a big tech company? For a long-term (3-6 month) contract.

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?

It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

I need a hug.
