In relation to the earlier post, what has been the best raise that you have gotten and how did you get it? For me I was able to get a 30% raise from 80k to 104k by switching jobs to a separate lateral position doing similar work. What other stories are out there?

I got my best raise ever at the end of last year actually. 15% base raise and a 6% bonus. Nothing special in terms of work, just continued doing the same thing as previous year.

It was very mixed emotions though career-wise. A lot of my colleagues got laid off. And the future of my role is uncertain. I'm just banking the increase and preparing for the worst.

Moving into consulting from a media agency was my biggest bump - that basically doubled my salary.
In consulting, promotions have generally resulting in 20-30% bump in base. For a non-promotion year probably ~5% is the best annual raise I’ve gotten.

2 biggest raises were from consulting to industry two times. 110>145 then 7 years later 230>350

73 -> 115 offer to jump and company matched.
