After the $$$ spent, years of training and "paying my dues" I couldn't care less about what office workers make. I am not median and niether are you. Stop refering to it. It doesn't apply here.
Some areas in those locales are. Some aren't. One can hardly expect to be the most highly paid person in every community unless one is Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. To do so is an unreasonable expectation. Once you convince the Arbitrator that your demands are unreasonable (extra points for demanding them in a threatening or demeaning manner) you have gone a long way towards LOSING the arbitration.
Now you can either ego-trip and act like a jerk or you can use tactics that actually work. Which would you prefer?
