Asking manager for a raise

[Severian]

Damn. That's four newsroom jobs.

I work with developers.

A few extra grand? He's asking for at least 4K since he's over 80k per year. Obviously it's
not a newspaper, but not sure what type of place it is.

It's a good organization.

Do you know what the salary range is for jobs like yours in your market? I did the research last year and found I was below the low end of the range. I showed that to my CEO and presented some goals and initiatives for the coming year. I came away with a 12 percent raise to get me comfortably into the market salary range for my position.

I kind of do. Glassdoor doesn't really reveal much because my role is niche.

Like I said earlier, I do know some of my coworkers' salaries range from the low $70s to high $90s - low $100s. Most of us have the same job title. It's a bit crazy. The only difference would be a year or so of experience.

That's the research I'm working off.

OK clears everything up.
