U need to branch out and prove what you are saying is true -- and u don't need to relocate... That is the strength of being a uber hacking sw "man of foo" that you are. If you are right, then your true value is an order of magnitude more than your employer is willing to pay. "Good!" -- prove it!!! Go to stack exchange and up your rep. Market yourself and go grab another job... But in all cases, (and respectfully) stop with the whining already.
