I work at a small real estate advisory company (<25) doing marketing and graphic design (only one on the team), but I also do HR work and random tasks no one else wants to do. I've been here for around 10 months. Despite being small, we definitely make money and have hired 2 executives in the last 4 months and a new junior employee. My current salary is $38.4k (~$18.46/hour), and in the research that I've done, I'm being underpaid by about $8-12k. I have about 3+ years of experience.
My boss mentioned during my initial review last week that I'm not being fairly compensated for the work I do, and when discussing what I'd like to be paid, I shot for the stars and said $25/hour (~$50k). They also mentioned that they'd like to give me added responsibilities if I'd want it.
If they low ball me and give me <$42k, is it bad to decline the added responsibilities if I feel like I'm not being fairly compensated for the work I do now, let alone more? I've heard from other employees that the management tries to sometimes add work but don't necessarily like to pay for it and I don't want to fall into that because I feel bad or something. Any advice would be great.
