No. Verbal was 6 months: give raise.
Actual was at 6/7 month be told that contingent on performance you would get a raise of 2-3% at 12 months.
Being 20% lower than market rate is definitely the problem and a signal that they don't want to pay appropriately.
Edit: if you don't value your worth appropriately from the get go, why would the employer?

>>It seems your problem was accepting an offer 20% below what you should.
Yes, that was indeed his mistake.
And so was expecting a 20% raise six months after being hired. That is, frankly, a ridiculous proposition.

Agreed that taking the low-paying position was a mistake if pay was a priority. Disagree that expecting a raise at the time he was verbally promised a raise was his mistake.
> My conclusion: never accept verbal agreements again.
Was the verbal agreement not honored? 2-3% after 6 months is not nothing.
It seems your problem was accepted an offer 20% below what you should.
