SFordinary girl, My reason of being underpaid is mostly due to that I started with a good option package but a not so good salary. My annual raises have always been more than 5% every year at my company. It looks good on paper, but not when you started so much lower and simply trying to make up the lost ground. Mike,

A question on raises ... was it stated in your contract you'd be getting a certain amount? the reason I ask is because I've heard from coworkers who haven't seen their annual merit increases reflected in the paycheck. i'm supposed to get a raise in may so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Congratulations on the raise!

There is no stronger bargaining chip than another job offer. That said working at a job you like is more important than getting paid the most you can, but given that your company seems to have the money to pay competitive wages....
