It's kind of both, actually. It's a simple tradeoff of your time and skills versus company resources. You are nothing more to them than a tool, and they are nothing more to you than a paycheck. You have to prove your value in a position of need to be paid more. They must pay adequately for you to provide your services. If you think you provide more value than their compensation indicates, you are free to test the free agent waters. If they don't value your contributions, then they'll leave you to rot (since most places generally don't just outright fire people for lack of performance these days). Neither side owes the other anything else.
