C++ Cad application, Norway, so not from a poor country. I know I'm underpaid but didn't expect it to be that bad

Hang in there, friend! You'll make it big sooner rather than later!

How many years experience? It took me a few years before I started making a decent wage.

Definitely keep honing your skills and applying around for different jobs, and taking jobs that you can use to "leapfrog" to other, even better jobs.

6 years. I'm by no means an expert, but I'm not newbie either

Okay that is getting up in years. I was about there when I started to get more aggressive with the salary I was asking. You could probably start on the developer I -> developer II -> senior developer career path.

Do you look at other jobs much? Do much networking? Talk to other devs about their salary? Even just grabbing a lunch with some workmates from time to time can help get you in the right mindset of recognising your worth.
