<prompt> Human: Hey, PF.Hopefully this is a decent place to post this. Ive been in an aerospace manufacturing company for a year now. I started out as a lower-tier chemical processor, then six months in, they realized my skill set could be put to better use elsewhere, so I was promoted to a position resembling a quality assurance chemist, with the understanding being that in six months I would have an opportunity to renegotiate my salary.Heres the thing: this new position has evolved significantly over the course of my tenure in it. What started out as little more than an analytical chemist position has become an unusual and rather challenging at times hybrid of that, plus industrial wastewater processingtreatment, plus quality engineer, plus part chemical engineer. Ive been tasked with investigative work, suggestions to management to improve processes, and to be a document custodian for several of the companys internal quality documents and procedures, many of which I have personally created from scratch and maintain already. I also manage an intern to help with some of the more menial work.I currently make just over 35k in my current position. I didnt negotiate the offer at the time, partly because I was somewhat blindsided by the amount I was a fresh college grad , working hourly making 11-12 as a processor and didnt have a very good understanding of the expectations and responsibilities of the job because they sort of created the job title for me specifically, but a quick search on places like Glassdoor and such put the market average of positions whose responsibilities and experience requirements I share much closer to 60k. This is in a relatively low COL area and so I would think to expect slightly lower than average salary if I were an average employee. Another thing is this company is somewhat notorious in our area for underpaying their people, to the point where several of the veteran employees have left or are stepping down from management roles and such over it.I dont know if Ill go straight for the market average, but how do I ask for what Im worth when its such a big jump? I dont want to just get laughed out of the room. But I know what Im worth with my education and my skillset, along with some general other benefits like being quite reliable, willing to work overtime salaried status notwithstanding, and being extremely competent, especially when compared to some of the other employees there who almost assuredly make more than I do now. I have concrete evidence of my contribution some of it single-handed to improvements at the company. Im much more prepared this time around, and I want to make it count.Any thoughts?Edit: alright guys I get it. Get a new job. This one blows. Im still going to try for a less extreme raise, but Ive known for a while that my days with this company were numbered. I went into this post gung-ho, full of ignorance and naivete. Im no longer so confident, not in myself necessarily but in my chances of getting what I want out of this job, and thats exactly what I hoped to get out of this post. Thank you to everyone who responded, and if anyone else wants to weigh in, I welcome it. :  <response>: Get a new job if you think youre worth more than youre being paid.
