But if you're working with the understanding that you're not a "mercenary", but would rather only be compensated fairly, it's a different conversation. You're not going to be the guy who jumps for another $5k, or is changing jobs every 6 months.

You can go to some salary sites and check out what they suggest the market should be, and go into your boss talking about that, and your value to the company.

When I hear this though: >Much lower than average compensation ($95k for 10 years experience, zero equity, bad healthcare & low vacation days)

Followed by: > high profits

It makes me think that they really don't care about you.
