What do you mean by "twice as much experience"? Does it makes you twice as productive? or just twice as much "time"?

If you are more productive, you can try to get more- but take into consideration:

1. You should have hard evidences that you are more productive- developers tend to think that they are better/have more experience then others at their level.

2. You should know your market value outside of the company and act according to that, not just your co-workers salary.

"twice as much experience" is inaccurate. I meant "twice as much time" and I am not twice as much productive.

(1) For the experience, I have more experience than some (maybe not twice as much) for the following criterion:

- documented code/api - always seeking to improve my coworkers' productivity (via documentation or automation) - well designed interfaces - fairly on time for deadlines.

Though the first 3 criterion are not really sought after by other devs.

(2) How can I find out my market value ? What are the criterion ?
