<prompt> Human: End of summer 2016, I began working as a software developer at small company for 50k. Before that I got my associates in computer science and was happy to get my foot in the door at a company making 35k as a developer. After two years I worked my way up to 41k while working towards my bachelors degree. My current company knew I was in the process of getting it when they hired me, but they never mentioned anything about me receiving more compensation when I did graduate, and we havent discussed it since. Fast forward to December 2016 and I graduate, but have not yet told the higher ups at work. Salaries for entry level developers with bachelors in my area is 57k according to sites like Glassdoor. I havent been working there long, so Im wondering if I can get some input on whether or not this is grounds for asking for a raise or not?  <response>: If I were you, I would start apply at different companies to try to get a job offer. Once you have a job offer that you think is fair, I would either talk to HR in your current company about compensation if you like your job and ask for raise. That way if they dont give you what you want you have a plan B.
