Navigating Career Uncertainty: Weighing Options After 4 Years in My Role

I've been working at my current job for 4 years now, and I'm starting to question if it's time to look for something new. I'm 26 and have had the chance to run a magazine and lead sales for it, which I really enjoy. However, my pay hasn't reflected my responsibilities; I'm earning the same as people three positions below me. The company promised to compensate me for my work, but that hasn't happened yet. The only increase I got was a commission for sales, and that was something I had to ask for myself. Now, the company is considering selling my magazine, and I might be reassigned to a different role within the company. I'm feeling anxious about this because I don't know what the new position will be or what my pay will look like. While I'm comfortable in my current role and have built strong relationships at work, I'm worried about being left in a situation where I’m underpaid and undervalued. The CEO assures me that I'm safe, but I can't help but wonder what that really means, especially since I'm likely the cheapest employee doing a job that typically pays over $80k. I'm torn between wanting to stay and fight for better compensation and the fear of getting stuck in a position that doesn't value my contributions. I’m considering making a pro and con list to help me decide what to do next.
