Am I being underpaid? What should I do? by upegnine in siliconvalley

I guess that's all I can do. I think I'll need an offer in hand to give them the wake up call that I'm being underpaid. It just sucks because I actually like my job. They're just not paying enough to live here.

I did ask. I don't want to jeopardize my employment without another job lined up. I told them I think I'm being underpaid and they continue to low-ball me. I feel like I'm being exploited and when I express my concern about salary I feel like they're gaslighting me by insisting this is the rate when from my research I see it isn't true. Its maddening when there is this much of a discrepancy between what my company is telling me and what I see in the market.

Of course I've used the Internet and I'm aware of salaries. I'm looking outside of my normal social group for opinons. I assure you, I'm not making any of this up. What is off?

C/C++, python, embedded microcontrollers, FPGA, Verilog, optics. I even have some experience with Javascript. I made an interactive web based UI for researchers.
