Taylor identifies the following three salary boosting tricks and website tools that could end your underpaid days forever.
1. Use an online salary sleuthing tool.
Compare…incomes for a variety of jobs with salary sleuthing websites — a pay rise might be just a click away!
PayScale.com: See how your compensation compares to your…peers by creating an anonymous job profile and sharing your salary, work experience, education, and benefits with other salary seekers.

2. Interview with other companies.
Gauge market demand for your skills, experience, and education by applying for work elsewhere. Checking in with recent job postings is a wise way to conduct free market research in your region, and landing a job interview could give you insight into whether you’re underpaid or not.
3. Ask your colleagues.
Muster up a bit of courage and ask your colleagues this one little question: Do you think your income is consistent with the market? You’re not directly asking what they make, but by asking an open question, you may just walk away with the answer you seek.
Your Turn: Are you making a fair wage?
