Not sure how without changing jobs! I think I'd be "charging" more already if I stayed at my old company, but that ship has sailed.

Sorry, that was a comment to the peanut gallery rather than directed at you. Lots of geeks think $MATERIALLY_LOWER is top of range.

Drat, I was hoping you had suggestions! I know a lot of people at our better paying competitors making more than me...

but I like my manager+proj and I'm almost certain to end up trading down on both elsewhere, so I'm leaving a lot of $ on the table.

If the $ difference matters to you the first-step, to me, would be to discuss with your manager.

“I’m leaving” is the standard opening gambit, but it’s also the nuclear option, so it’s best to not play that card lightly

I've talked to my manager at length and I'd say it's 50/50 whether or not something will happen.

the problem is that our pay distribution is lower than elsewhere, so for a given effort, pay is (probably) worse

The fully story is more complicated than I'm making it sound, but it's too long to fit into tweets.
