If I were you I would consider hiring a recruiter to help. My sister is working in a foreign bank and she was recently head hunted. Didn't make the move in the end because her company counteroffered. Instant pay raise of 20%. If your work is valued by the market you might want to consider this via recruiters. Mark yourself to the market.

Hi, Thanks and appreciate your advices.
I have decided to talk to my boss next week after knowing how much a foreign talent of similar responsibilities are earning. It's about twice of mine which I find it ridiculous. I like my current job but I just can't survive with such a salary compared to peers. And also recently there are more and more work load and responsibilities. I have not had any major increments for the past 6 years and peanuts annual increment. Not even half of inflation rate. I guess it's time.
