So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

We had evaluations and normally we have annual raises. I think my salary is under market value at $68k (plus OT) in Los Angeles (5 years of experience). I was told I am one of the top employees in the firm.

What would be your response to that, to a partner who is making 500-600k a year?
