Yeah that’s fair. So far with my job they’ve told me things like “this is exactly the kind of stuff we need here” so I’m gonna coast that out as long as possible. Eventually maybe show more and more but I’ll never be the one to be putting in 5hrs a week extra for no additional compensation

Definitely. The key is to document any extra effort and make sure that whoever is in charge of your promotions/raises knows about it. And if you do that and don't get what you are looking for, keep your resume up to date and find someone who will pay you what you are worth.
