Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

OP, Does your workplace not have an annual performance reviews?

Make sure they didn’t hire you with a higher than normal salary first. Sometimes they’ll pay the money upfront to lock a candidate in and not give any further raises later down the line. If you’re clearly underpaid per market standards, you’ll have to kindly show that to your boss. You don’t have to frame it as a complaint, you could make it seem like you’re just wondering on how raises work at the company because it’s been a while now, and since raises are often tied to performance it would be good to have some feedback on whether you should worry if there’s no raise or if you need to improve something to get a raise. You could mention your milestones as a reminder of why a raise could’ve been warranted during this period, but always try to show “respect” for how the decisionmaking is done in regard to the timing of raises anyway. Don’t make it seem like anyone dropped the ball or anything.
I think you need to learn that salary negotiations are commonplace and successful people are always thinking of how to increase their earnings. Two years is more than enough time to ask for a raise, even if you hadn't had your role expanded. I'd do your market research and then compile some data of your contributions and ask for a one on one with your supervisor.
Make sure you stay on that job search because you might hear the same excuse next year —- happened to me. 3 yrs in a row. Same situation taking on more and more trying to “earn a raise” just to hear the same excuse at the next evaluation
First, find out how your salary compares to market value for your area. Use that when you meet with your boss, along with providing examples of what you have contributed to the company.
Hype yourself up and be your own best advocate. You got this!

I would feel confident about bringing it up given that you’ve been there for a while and it’s a very normal thing to bring up
