| Dec 5, 2018 at 16:17 | comment | added | David Thornley | I still have some problems with your last paragraph. If you have an offer from another company for the pay level you want, you can accept it. Using it as leverage where you work is almost certainly a bad idea. If the current employer isn't going to budge, the best way to get a raise is to leave for a more reasonable employer. | |

| Dec 4, 2018 at 17:42 | comment | added | J. Chris Compton | @dan I think you could improve your answer by adding what you said in your comment to your answer. "HR already disqualified his research so it is a moot point on what I think or if I agree those methods are valid or not." is a good point, but that didn't come across clearly to me in your answer. +1 on your comment. | |
| Dec 4, 2018 at 17:19 | comment | added | Dan | @Pyrotechnical Sadly yes, it is. HR already disqualified his research so it is a moot point on what I think or if I agree those methods are valid or not. His only course of action at this point is to go to another company to see if his pay request is reasonable or not. If someone is willing to pay that amount, then it means his research is correct and he can say goodbye to his current place. | |
| Dec 4, 2018 at 16:04 | comment | added | Pyrotechnical | I'm not sure you can argue those are weak opinion reasons. Those are pretty standard methods to determine typical salary ranges for an industry. Furthermore, your answer is indirectly providing the answer to move to another company suggesting that is the only way to determine reasonable pay. | |
