I work at growth-stage company and and am looking to substantially improve my salary in the Feb annual review. I told them $85k during interview, they got me down to $65k+equity+fully paid benefits+WFH+4% 401k match, and honestly, I was stuck in my career after exploring post-grad and a bit desperate to use my degree. Plus I had never negotiated before. The company is expecting a big round of funding in the new year; I have consistently excelled; they gave $10k retention for just 2months...

I think what you're proposing is absolutely fair - especially since you've got plenty of evidence to support your cause. If they're not willing to meet you there, I'd honestly look elsewhere. You are definitely being underpaid.

Agreed! Seems very low.

and the newer job postings for my position have almost double the responsibilities (which I have already been doing). This is my first job specifically focused with my econ degree, but they are expanding our roles to include sales, marketing, and consulting, which I have a good 5 YOE in. I have also taken certification classes since starting and continue to do so, which will make me way more competitive if I were to start a job search.

On top of that, a chunk of our small team recently left so we've had to take up for a sh*t ton of responsibilities--which I've used as an opportunity to stand out and have been successful in doing so thus far.

Basically, it's a good company, I've been killing it, but it's also been killing me a bit...I have realized how qualified I am since starting. The senior position pays $130k+ (used to require 10 YOE, now only requires 5....). Would it be completely out of pocket to put $98k on the table with no additional equity, but willing to come down with additional shares?

Thank you everyone! Definitely feeling more confident about this now!

Are you saying you are aiming for the senior position now, or just keeping it in mind for the future? Can you apply?

Economist 2 is right before Sr Economist1; I'm hoping that I can get promoted in February to Econ 2 to help justify the big jump; the only difference between what I've accomplished now and the technical additional responsibilities is more client facing interaction. Unfortunately I can't apply outright
