What is the actual cost of your entire compensation package? If you consider all of the perks and benefits, along with your pay, does it bump your hourly rate to a higher level? Once you consider the total compensation, does it match with what you think you should be earning?
Are there any other positions in your company that have the same skill set, similar job duties, and higher pay?
Do you need more education to get into a higher level position in your current job ladder? Will the company pay for that education?
I know from current employment trends, companies are looking for people who have a stable employment history. Jumping around looks like you lack commitment, that you get bored, or it can raise a red flag that there are performance issues.
Look at everything your employer offers you, including the programs and services that you have access to, but are not using. If you can stick it out for a bit longer, try to do it.
After 3 months at my last company, I felt overworked and underpaid. The company didn't compensate me for it. So I took advantage of every benefit they offered, stayed for a total of two years, then packed my bags and never looked back.
