I'm sitting at what is a little bit under the Glassdoor calculator shows is my market value for the experience I have (8%). I know this isn't perfect but it's definitely an indicator. While I've raised this with my employer and they're talking about a one time adjustment, they're saying if it comes it will be 5% which doesn't even get me there.
At the same time, I'm talking with recruiters and doing phone interviews. I'm able to get interest with them starting the conversation saying I'm looking for a salary that's 19% up from where I am. I've been at my current job a year and a half.
I like the projects and environment, and it's a big company, high profile jobs and all. However I have to be cognizant and look out for myself, making sure I'm getting the best I can. Still paying off loans aggressively and could use all the help I can get. I wouldn't want to establish a pattern of jumping quickly, but I can't just wait around underpaid.
What does everyone think? the 18-20% worth jumping for?
