"To answer your question honestly, I'm being underpaid based on what I have to offer and the skills I possess and how my skills are being utilized. I'm being overpaid for the exact same reason. My managers never did my job and don't know the value of my skills so I get placed on projects sometimes that only use 1% of my skills. It's like a person who owns a FerrarI and a Prius and takes the Prius to a car race because they heard the Prius will save them money on gas. What's the point of a race"
