Was promoted to Principle System Engineer in December 2021 (Technical Band 3) and went from 81k to 98k. Our company has experienced significant attrition (13 engineers down to 4 engineers within 6 months) so a few months ago my director bumped me up to 110k based on me being a top performer in 2021 end of year review. I am grateful for the pay increase, but all of the coworkers who left have found positions that provide significantly higher pay. Am I being underpaid for my work?

I mean if you said the coworkers who left are earning significantly more, I'll take that to mean that you're somewhat underpaid. And the company bumped up your pay without you requesting for it (not for a promotion - only happened when people started leaving). So they know you're underpaid.
On the other hand "underpaid" is relative to company and to your personal goal.
Your industry might be paying more on average but if you work for a small company, they might not be able to afford more.
If your question is whether you can sell your skills for more, then the answer is "yes".
Whether you should go for more is up to you - your goals, aspirations, happiness in current company, worklife balance, etc. I don't see why not.

Highly depends upon where you are in the Country, and how many years experience you have.

Hi all, new to this thread. Have a slight dilemma. My current employer is in the photonics industry, I have an entry level position that is base 70K, brand analyst role.

However, a smaller non-profit company is offering me a chance to move towards a Data Analyst role, base 120K (remote). All things equal, is it a bad move to not leave my firm?
