What is a reasonable pay increase + bonus? This will be my first pay increase. I make 70k and I will be starting my second year at big law (immigration).

I will get a pay increase regardless so I want to negotiate in case I don’t get a “good” increase.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”.
