Am I underpaid?

A reader may be underpaid but doesn’t really know. Let’s explore how to find out in the August 25, 2020 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter. Question I want to change jobs because I suspect I’m underpaid. I’ve been looking at Glassdoor and other salary surveys. Are they accurate? How can I find out what salary I should expect from a new job, so that I can figure out if I am currently underpaid, as I contend, or if I should stop my whining? Nick’s Reply We live and work in a quasi-capitalist environment. For the most part, the market determines value.

^ If you want to find out if you're underpaid... apply for jobs... if they're offering more than what you're making, then, yep, you're underpaid.

Or, if you ask your boss before you start your search, you'll find out if your employer thinks you're underpaid if you suddenly get a bonus or raise. That's happened to me before...
