You are not underpaid. I know a bunch in cybersecurity at IBM, RCGT, ADGA etc and with 10 yoe you are within the range.
What is ur base if I may ask ?
You should be targeting Director+ roles then. Your experience level doesn’t match your title imo
I think 160k TC is a very good pay for mid-level /senior specialist , which is a good range generally (in Canada). If you are in Tech or Consulting then yes your TC is on the lower side of the median (which is still good) but that doesnt meant you shouldnt get more :)
You are the only one who knows your true value /worthness , just work on expressing that with valuable impact to your current and future employer

160k is solid comp. However for 10+ YOE you could touch 200(given some of it will be bonus/equity) in a better market and for your YOE I think 200 is reasonable
- 180k TC
- Approx 8 YOE
160k base. Working in consulting.
Adding a bit more to clarify as my 10 yoe is specific to cybersecurity. BUT Overall I have 20 years in tech industry experience. I work for a smaller company that doesn’t really do stock/equity and doesn’t have a bonus plan. So the 160k is my base, and I get nothing else.
Then it looks on lower side ( caution - I am just an year old to this country ) how many companies u worked for in total till now ?
