How do you approach annual salary increase conversations with managers? How do you decide what is a reasonable figure to ask for? Looking for broad responses based on your experience in these conversations. Base is about 90k now (1 year of experience).

One of my old managers/mentors taught me this early in my career:

Tell and quantify your story!

Be able to measure the work that you did. Document which projects you worked on. What you worked on outside of you scope. What recognition and praise you get. Save all this information that you get in a folder for annual review and provide all this information as how you impacted the organization and company.

Do you have any real leverage to be asking for a figure? Chances are that at your level you will take what your managers decide after calibration against peers.

You should also be seeing what the current market pay for you in the area is. If the pay range is 65-95k then you’re already pretty much tapped out unless you can prove why you deserve more.

Also, it doesn’t hurt to walk in with a recruiting offer with higher pay.
