My advice: always be interviewing. This is your best way to measure your value, your marketability and industry demand. Tools are uniquely terrible for this sort of stuff.

It doesn’t matter what you think you’re worth or what the market pays - your company may just not place enough value to pay you what you’re truly worth. And on the other side of the coin, (unlikely but) you may find out there is limited interest in what you bring to the table which is helpful to know to calibrate your own career journey.

The best part of “always be interviewing” is you’re in control. You can walk away from any opportunity that isn’t for you. You can push for a much bigger package. You can apply for a reach position and find out you are far more qualified than you thought.

It’s all on your terms today. You’re not in a rush.

Welcome to the Salaries in STEM bowl! 💸

For the best response to your post, please include the following:

Your location or HCOL/MCOL/LCOL ("high cost of living" city etc), years of experience, and any other relevant information for context.

Example:

"Engineer in a HCOL with 5 YOE currently making 85k and know I'm very underpaid. What should I be aiming for?"

These variables have a great affect on salary and you'll get better answers the more details you provide.

Cheers!
