Ask HN: What should I do?

I work in the UK. I earn £15000 a year. For a web developer who has 3 years experience and always gets good annual reviews I feel I am underpaid. Normally the best course of action is to start looking for other jobs. But there is a problem... I have a terrible stammer

I've had lots of interviews for other positions, infact almost every position I apply for I get an interview for but my stammer that leaves me practically unable to talk in interviews.

I've asked my current employers for a raise but because they know my situation and they know my stammer means I interview badly they know I am stuck here.

I used to think my code would be able to win these battles for me but I think I'm wrong. What shall I do?
