I know for a fact I’m underpaid compared to market rates, but I’m still struggling with feeling guilty about asking for more money. Being the only woman on my engineering team definitely adds an extra layer of second-guessing myself. Should I just get over myself and ask for a raise?

Market rates are iffy to me because the market is really just based on what a company is WILLING to pay you for your work. But yes, ask for a raise.

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
