If they're honest (including with themselves), it's as easy as saying something along the lines of "I'm happy with my role, my responsibilities, and what I'm learning every day, but I'm not content with my salary."

Sometimes the answer is just to give them a raise. Sometimes it's "you're already at the top of your pay band, sorry."

Not even at the top of your pay band, but "we simply don't have the budget for it". Very much the case for startups trying to compete with well-established companies, let alone FAANG-tier
