I have a situation.
I found out managers at my company have our promotions and raises in hand during our annual review.
The numbers being already approved with HR and finance.
Without knowing what that information is, how do I go about “intercepting” it and presenting my achievements and negotiate? Should set up a meeting ahead of my annual review?

Context:
Been at this company for 2 years - only had a 5% raise. Mid market SaaS startup

Product Designer II
5 YOE at 78k base San Diego, CA

I have a consulting graduate internship that pays $43 an hour with Kaiser. I was told it was the maximum for the region (San Jose). I’m kind of anxious that after the internship period, it may be hard to find a company paying comparable given that this is a graduate internship and not even a full time permanent position. Is this normal? Do most consulting positions start above this pay level anyway?
