How to tell if I am underpaid at my current role comparing to my peers? Do we just accept what we see in the comp statement?

So things we “know” affect comp when comparing to your peers:
- YOE
- Degree(s)
- H/M/LCOL
- homegrown vs experienced and when
- your individual capabilities

How to know? Ask. Share.

That said, I don’t share. Lol! I’ve discussed with colleagues broadly and we think we’re about the same comp. we’ve similar backgrounds all considered.

In the end: do you feel, honestly, that you’re being compensated fairly for YOUR work? Emotionally the benefits of comparing are dim IMHO. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a legit potential disparity when looking at gender/race/ethnicity.

But if you’re comfortable, why risk unhappiness or bitterness?

My last employer offered me a 25% raise to stay, I left for 50% raise and am now 65% above what I was making. Pretty sure it’d be more if it weren’t for 🦠...😜

Are all these salary posts also freaking you out too lol. I don’t think there is a way to really compare outside of asking others.

Where are they being posted?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
