I had a feeling that I was grossly underpaid. I asked my manager about a raise, so she sent me the salary guide they've been using when making offers to new hires.
That very guide, plus some other research I did, showed that I was indeed underpaid by about $35k per year. So I asked for a $35k raise to bring me up to market value.
They gave me $8k.
I had already been interviewing with another firm, and they offered exactly what I had initially asked for.
They were shocked when I put my notice in.
Like, really? Y'all give me a document outlining salary ranges, and I use that very same document to make my ask, then come back with a slap in the face offer? And you're surprised I'm leaving? Get bent.
