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 communicate my goals (including promotions) and salary increase requests at least six months before a review at every company I work for. I like to get a very explicit list of competencies and requirements to be considered for raises and promotions, and then I keep a very detailed record of my accomplishments and share them with my manager frequently. The process of having your manager and HR finalize promotions and raises before reviews is the most common approach so you have to be vocal well before that happens.

Also: if I do negotiate my pay ahead of my annual review. At what point do I (or should I) communicate with my manager I am willing to look for other opportunities for a more competitive pay rate? Don’t want to burn bridges but also want to be firm and transparent.

I agree with D1. Communicate your wants and needs as far before your annual review as you can, that way you won't end up surprised and off-put by a number that doesn't fit your needs. They also won't be able to claim surprise at your requests/negotiation at the review. Schedule a meet as soon as possible.
