Every year your salary moves about 3%. Sounds reasonable. Standard practice.
Here's what nobody tells you: 3% of an underpaid number is still an underpaid number. You're not closing the gap. You're compounding it.
If you started underpaid by 15%, and you get 3% while the market moves 5%... that gap doesn't shrink. It grows. Every year.
The only way out isn't a bigger percentage. It's resetting the base number entirely.
