I was once in the same situation. If you want to be paid market value, stop whining and go get it. What's the point of sitting around being mad.

You have some choices. Wait for the next big project, then ask for a fair raise, and for once, don't take the weak counter. But really you should just get another job. Then you will find out what you are really worth.

Good luck.

Yeah I'm currently at the 'next big project' and asked for a fair raise. I got a bonus and was told salary reviews will happen within a few months. The company reviews everyone at the same time... maybe they should reconsider if I go and find what I'm looking for.
