I just want salary adjustment to match the market, even on the lower end because right now I’m underpaid.

Dei, this is not how you negotiate salary.

Market rate is the worst justification you can use because it just shows you don't know your actual worth.

You know what is very likely? The average market rate, is on average doing a lot more work than you. You can't simply use your position/title as justification.

I’m still not sure why the market rate can't be a valid comparison. I briefly mentioned it to my boss, though I wasn’t really expecting much. But his response was more demoralizing than I expected.
