<prompt> Human: So Im working a job right now for way less than market rate for my skill set. Basically, I work for a creative agency. I make 20 an hour. But the agency bills clients 150 an hour for my time and work on projects. Im also in a lead position. This basically happened because I dont have a lot of experience under my belt, but I am highly skilled. They know that they wont be able to afford me in another 6 months or a year. I have two interviews this week for awesome companies. The kind that provides unlimited beer, unlimited vacation, and even weekly in-home maid service for employees. Im sure they also work you into the ground but thats fine with me I am nervous to tell them how much I make. I really dont know what to say? Im afraid theyll hear my current rate and think oh, shell love to work here for 30! But I would turn down the position. I wouldnt work for less than 40-50 an hour especially since Im billed out at the highest rate in my current international company and Im a design lead. What can I say? Im a single mom and I really need help to move up! Alternatively, I may wish to stay with my current company as they already want to renegotiate my salary at the end of the month for a raise. The perks of this company are that I work exclusively from home. I work where I want, when I want, and I lead projects which means I have complete creative control. Any tips for renegotiating my salary at the current company? Really confused, thanks everyone.  <response>: I had a similar situation. Way undervalued straight out of school at my first programming job. Stayed about a year to get experience in the industry. When I went for interviews and they asked Why are you leaving or how much are you making, I just flat out told them, I feel that Ive been extremely undervalued at my current rate of x and am looking for something that actually lines up with my full market value.
