I would suggest looking on Glassdoor, see what other companies in your area pay at similar levels, see what it states your own company pays. I would request at least a 5% raise potentially more depending on what you find in regards to how others are paid. I know it is frowned upon but if you feel comfortable speaking with others in similar role as you at your company or another what they make I suggest doing it. It helps to understand where you stand. I am a woman as well and had this conversation with a male counterpart once and was nice to learn I was making slight more than him.
I tried to have this discussion with a male counterpart and unfortunately he refused to partake. I would have loved to know, and share mine as well! I don’t know why this question threatens so many people.
