<prompt> Human: Ive been at my company for nearly 5 years now. I was hired fresh out of college. They gave me a title and base entry level pay that I was told I could grow out of if my work could show for that. Now I am doing the work of a full time Motion DesignerVideographer average salary 50k-70k but am still getting paid 37k because my title has not changed. My duties have increased, but pay hasnt. What can I do? I suppose looking for another job is an option but I do like the company I work for other than my immediate superiors who are causing this issue. I learned quick that the promises people tell you when youre hired mean dick. You cannot take anyones word for it. So far working hard hasnt exactly paid off.. Perhaps this is just me venting, but I feel people of this sub-reddit are genuinely honest and supportive which is what I desperately need right now. Thanks all.  <response>: I was told I could grow out of if my work could show for that.Talk to the decisionmaker and ask himher what tasksmilestones need to be crossed in order for the promotion and subsequent raise.If they are truly dicking you around, they will continue to give vague requirements or unreasonable goals. If this is the case, look for another job. They are exploiting you and have very little intention of paying you what you are worth.Otherwise, do what they ask. Show them you did what they asked. Get promoted.
