    I appreciate this, I really try to push people around me to ask for what they are worth. Last company I was at was underpaying most people in my dept and I was rooting for so many of them to go and get a raise. Some did some didn’t, but hey know your worth! You’re worth so much more than any company wants you to think

      I’m sorry, but Sales 101 teaches you, “You gotta ask for the money.” No different than working hourly or salary.

      And if someone isn’t comfortable with that? I don’t know what to tell them. Employers aren’t giving anyone a massive raise just because.

      And if you don’t like it? MOVE. It’s common knowledge in the tech world that no employer is ever going to give you a massive boost. Or they would have already. Improve your skills and move on.
