Not OP, but I'm wondering much the same thing... specifically is it a good time to look if one is underpaid?

That's exactly (and unfortunately) what this monkey was thinking. :(

I think I might be underpaid

I'm an engineer in SF with 3 years' experience in primarily Python and Django.

What can I do...
