Almost anyone could add at least a few more dollars to their salary if they
really wanted to. It's usually a matter of what you're willing to trade off to get them.
If your employment situation is really that unsatisfactory, you'd probably do well to explore other options and not be afraid to look for more money.

Believe in yourself. See what the high end of the market is for your role/experience and ask for 20% more than that.

You are worth what a company will pay you, ask for what your friend says to

If you're a GS employee in DC and not getting promoted every year or two moving from agency to agency why stay in DC?
