I use a simple "heuristic" to determine whether I'm actually being underpaid or I'm just unhappy with my earnings.
- are there companies out there paying more for my abilities?
- do I want to do that job, in case it exists?
- do I manage to get that job, in case it exists?
In case ALL those questions have an answer 'Yes', THEN I'm being underpaid. Otherwise, I'm just unhappy about how the market priced my abilities.
