Your best leverage is what your 'market rate' is outside of your


organization. So you essentially have to say 'listen - I have done the research and I know I am worth n% more than I am getting paid.' However, that also gives the hint that you are thinking of leaving so you open the door to them quietly replacing you. If you have a good relationship with your boss it is usually an easy discussion - emphasize you want to stay but you want it to be fair.

I have had this discussion twice and I am 2 for 2 so far. BTW - never compare your salary to anyone else WITHIN your organization and if this doesn't work try the compromising pictures route. Good luck!
