This is my fear. The last thing you want to do is be playing a game of prepetual catch up. If you don't try and make the jump to move up a bit now, you will be behind.

Make up for it with other perks - training, trips, seminars, etc.., additional vacation, whatever.

That is one perk of the job I am in. Lot's of training and lots of travel. Vacation is mandated pretty clearly (big company) so not lots of room to negotiate there. Really salary is the big issue.

Good Point. I like to think that 4 years Uni. 4 Years work experience (2 years directly relevant to the job) successful track record. They have also spent money training me, it would cost them more to replace then to give a raise.
All some good tips thanks so far!
