which is a non-answer.
your salary often has no bearing on what you're capable of.
If I'm working for a company that only knows how to extract $80k of value from my labor, and then only pays me $65k, that says as much about their ability to manage their business and resources as it does about my innate ability. My exact same skills might bring $250k of value to a different organization.
Paying me based on what I earned in the past is ... wrong.
