PSA: A manager in Denver showed me the salary bands for my exact job and I was $14k under the bottom number
She pulled up the sheet during my yearly review because she wanted me to know what the range was before I asked for a raise, and it turns out everyone hired in the last 2 years makes more than me for the same work.
That part about everyone hired in the last 2 years making more is the real kicker. It means the company KNOWS what the job is worth, they just set the band higher when they got desperate to fill spots. I have seen this play out where a new hire comes in at the top of the range and the person training them is sitting $10k below the bottom. Loyalty gets punished and job hopping gets rewarded, plain and simple. So next time you talk money, bring up that sheet and ask them to bump you to at least the middle, because staying quiet means you keep funding the new hires.
