I found my position listed on a job board for twice my salary. Do I have a bargaining chip? /u/Afraid_Cartoonist775 CSCQ protests reddit

I have been working for my company for about 3 years.

I started as a new grad at this position and learned everything I know about the job from the position itself. I took a low starting pay (a few dollars/hour above my cities avg living wages) to ensure I would be employed right after graduation.

I have been taking on more and more responsibilities over the years but I have not yet seen a promotion or any substantial pay raise. My performance reviews have always been positive. I have been mentioning this to my manager and he says he will be making sure I see something this year.

Over the break, half of our team left. We are having issues finding suitable candidates because we can’t find people with experience using our technology stack. The decision was to find juniors and train them from scratch.

I found the job listing they posted for the position they are trying to fill and it fits my exact job description, but pays double what I am currently making and requiring roughly the same amount of YOE.

I have a 1 on 1 with my manager next week. I know it’s difficult to stay at the same job and gain significant pay raises, but are there any strategies I can use to help with negotiations?
