You're right, and that's what worries me. Part of me knows I should be earning more and doing more interesting things but I am concerned about leaving a decent team for the unknown.
I've been considering asking for a pay rise, yes. Although I'm unsure if they'd be able to even match the market average as that'd be a big jump in both pay and benefits I guess. I always think through what my desired outcome would be before going into meetings like that. In this case, I think what I desire would be too much. Add to that the fact that my boss has pointedly told the team that he hates the 'mercenary' types around SV who are only in it for the money...
