   I started out at a low salary, around 85k, to get my foot in the door. I do quite a lot of stuff from managing Kubernetes, AWS serverless cloud stuff, to full-stack React SPAs.

   My boss says they can't offer a raise because of my performance evaluations. Even if I get a raise, it will be something between 5-7% (barely matching inflation).

   It is very hard to negotiate a higher salary if your baseline is low. The scope of work is relentless as a "full stack developer" and I have to constantly learn completely new technologies without any commensurate salary increase, all predicated upon some "objective" performance review.

   I am posting here to understand the employer mentality to under pay people based on experience or productivity when both of these have quite variance at different firms.

   Just find a new job. That is how people in tech get raises.

    Do not tell recruiters the truth about how much you make. That's all. They're not telling you the truth about what the potential pay range is, either.

    Yes, it is low, id/iot. I’d like to see you starving out on the street.

    Be grateful for what you have. Your employer can find an Indian that will do the same job remotely for one third the wage in less than a month

    You could probably move and get at least a 30k bump. My sibling did that. If they are not giving you a COL bump and are expanding the scope of your duties then you should leave. If they say your performance reviews are why you should not get a raise then ask them why they feel confident in your ability to take on new responsibilities beyond the original scope of the job.
