I'd prepare a good case for why you are worth more than what they are paying you. List accomplishments - particularly anything that can be quantified. Also, have some legitimate resources to show the average pay rate for your role with your level of experience. Then ask your boss for a sit down. If they're unwilling to budge, then it's probably time to start exploring other opportunities. Good luck!

Wowwww

That seems pretty low. I agree you shouldn't expect a 50% increase unless you have the numbers to back that up. But it does seem low and I'm sure you can point to a few similar companies' salaries

You might also consider looking at roles at different companies if you really want that salary
