One solution to this is to become an oracle at your company. Any time someone (namely someone higher in the company who is responsible for your pay) has a question, no matter how many times it's been asked, how recently it's been asked, how obvious and repeated it is in the documentation, you answer quickly and thoroughly, like a machine. After a year or two of this, you'll be able to ask for any raise, or to work remote, or to even switch to contracting. They won't want to lose you.
