Yes, if they can replace you for a lot less in this market.

Maybe, if you're just average.

No, if you actually make things happen.

Why do you think you should get the $5k? Eg peers in the company, market benchmarks etc

I’m pretty much a team of one. So I don’t have any comparison. I was initially hired under someone else and they quit a month after I started. I have since taken over their work. I’m coming up on my one year and have implemented a fair few initiatives.

Why go for the pain of asking, socializing the rationale, go through all the hoops for a meager $5k annual raise? Unless it's wholesome don't go asking and if you really are asking make sure there is another job lined up if the response if negative.
