Review time is coming up at work, and I&#x27;ve found out I&#x27;m being paid at roughly the 30th percentile for someone with my experience (3 years, Python&#x2F;Django backend) in the city I work in (SF).  I&#x27;ve been with the company for about a year, and I would like to stay there, but certain external factors have caused money to become tighter than it was a few months ago.<p>I want to fix this situation, but I don&#x27;t particularly want to change companies.  I like going into work; enjoy my coworkers; and the company is in a good position to become cash-flow neutral very soon, so we&#x27;re in a good place in spite of all the articles about the impending blood bath in the Valley.  On the other hand, I&#x27;ve explicitly been told by my tech lead that the days of 10%+ raises are over, but I&#x27;m making around 16% less than the median.<p>Is this a hopeless situation?
Underpaid and not sure what to do about it
