Hi, many time exec here.

The answer is you quit. Underpaid people don’t get fixed, basically ever. Out of band raises are politically costly, and in situations where you’re significantly underpaid you will never get trued up vs market.

You go to the market and get the best offer you can and then you just quit.

To add to that: sometimes it's not that the manager or.company is bad. I've been in situations where the company's business model is not set up to extract as much value from you as you're able to offer. Basically you're overqualified, but slightly different in the sense where the company is under-qualified in the market to keep you. Other companies can make much better use of your time.
