Regional firm ($100-200M), Dallas. Promoted from staff 2 - Senior 1, top rated (9/10 rating-rounded). ~ 7% raise, less than $2k bonus. Feel like I know the answer, but- am I getting totally screwed???

The issue with small firms is career path; make sure they are growing at the top, accommodating new partners and executives. Many grow only at the lower levels and never open the wealth to the people who generate it

New comp as top rated Sr 1 puts me in the low 60s. I feel that based on my performance as well as the market, I'm definitely being underpaid. Is that an accurate assessment?

No

Fair enough, however I would dispute the low COL assessment of Dallas. I know it's not NYC or LA, but housing costs alone have risen nearly 30% or so in the last 2 years on avg. I see your point though.

like

I was in a low COL area and started at 50 --> 55 --> 60. And I got promoted to senior after 1 year. So S1 I was at the 55k and S2 I was at 60. I didn't feel underpaid. The next year I went to 68, then 78 after that

That's nationwide though.^ what do a studio and 1 bedroom go for right in Dallas? I need some background info

1 br runs you a solid 1000-1500/month. Can be more or less for fancy or crappy.
