As per my direct sup advice, I've been doing some salary benchmarking recently, got 7 relevant surveys and found myself to be compensated at the bottom-end for all those surveys.

However, their 75th percentiles vary significantly (up to 3K/mth), which has quite confused me to decide which fair salary I should aim (yes, i'm aiming the 75th percentile) when I formally request a pay raise.

Can you share how much senior engineer like me can earn? Thanks a lot.
The problem with your approach is you may think you are worth 75 percentile, but if your company policy is to pay at 50 percentile, then they will not give you.

I think US company quite siao on cost control so dun think they will anyhow make exceptions. btw, what are the 7 survey from? 3.3k is on the low side, but i dun think is bottom end like you say.
