So I'm in a scenario I'm uncomfortable, need some encouragement from fellow devRanters. (Looong post)

I've been working at this startup for about 10mths (since I graduated). They have been really good to me since the start, and overlooked some fuck ups I did at first.

But now I've been way more experienced , picked it up really quick. And I've basically redesigned several of their admin solutions and data products. Also, I'm basically their entire data analysis team now. I do backend (node, PHP, MySQL) and analysis for them (stats, deep learning, python, big data packaging for clients).

But seeing as I've moved in their company, and have been consulted on several major decisions, as well as built a really good relationship with some of their clients. I still haven't seen a raise, moreover I've been told that I'm expected to work from 8am to 5:30pm (9.5hrs no overtime pay). Which really pisses me off, since I know I'm worth more than what I'm paid (about 40k a year).

My brother (who's also a dev) suggested to tell them that I'm not happy at work due to this. And quit if they don't react well.

How should i bring this up? Should I really quit? This is all new grounds.

    Yes. With measurable experience like that you can easily get a job paying more than 40k a year. Just my 2¢ though.

    If you are in the US and can do what you say you do then doubling+ your salary by getting a new job should be easy.

    Talk to them first, show them some salary stats related to your position and ask for a raise or co-founder status, if that's appealing to you.

    @nickpapoutsis I'm Canadian, but I think the same applies to Toronto

    @asosnovsky Probably but I am not familiar with the Canadian salary ranges. Do a Google search and you will find what your salary should be, on average.

    @asosnovsky fellow Canadian here. Yeah with your skill set 60k would be extremely easy. At the right company with negotiations and all you may even be able to push 80-100. However if you're liking the company as @nickpapoutsis said request co-founder status or atleast some equity + raise. Which school did you go to if you don't mind me asking?
