If you live in California or another state with relatively high wages, then it wouldn't hurt to ask for more. You have to realize though that the more you ask for in compensation, the more they will expect in your output. Good luck When I got my present job, I didn’t value myself enough.

If more than 2-3, I don't think asking for a 20% salary bump is out of line. It is hard to answer you not knowing more specifics.
