I need some advice. My role has some HR responsibilities and therefore I have some access to company data. My review is coming up, and I plan to ask for a raise. I feel like I provide a lot of value and I’m a good employee. However, bc I have access to that data I also know that I’m making less than other employees and there is a large gap between my pay and other directors. How do I go about brining this up without being unethically about the my knowledge of this data?

Use the salary info you have to find alternative sources. When you're having that conversation frame it around seeking a market adjustment not a pay equity adjustment

By the above I mean, say you're at $50k and everyone around you - with commensurate duties and skills as your role - is at $65k. Say you do a market study for your role and find that the 25th percentile is $55k but the average is $75k. Feel secure going into the conversation asking for a market adjustment to bring you in line with the median for your role and location, which = $75k. Starting that high might throw them a bit and then you have room to share (if they ask, don't volunteer this info) that your target minimum is $65-70k

There’s more that goes into comp than just your level though too. For example, a Director of Engineering is going to make more than a Director of Talent or Marketing. Also, YOE is a factor as well. For every additional year, you get a bump. If you are in the same role and there is someone with 10 more years of experience than you - they will obviously be making more. City typically factors in too. If you’re going to use a comparison, make sure it is against folks in the same type of org, with the same YOE, and in the same general COL location.
