I've been at my current job for a bit over two years now. First year I got an 8% raise in total comp, second year I got a 9% raise in total comp. I'm expecting this year to be 15% as I'm gunning for a promotion as well.

Depends where you work, broseph.

I agree it depends on where you work, but in my situation, I've more than tripled my income thanks to certs and demanding raises instead of just doing nothing an expecting a raise.

Yeah, you've gotta be intentional about letting your manager know what your accomplishments are, what your goals are, etc. They aren't going to keep track of all of that unless you work at a small company where a manager has just a few direct reports.

Once you get to bigger companies, it doesn't scale for a manager to track someone that closely. So you'll have to track your own performance and make sure it lines up with what your manager is being told.

If I didn't get a good raise at my current job each year, I'd just go down the street and find a new job that pays more tbqh. So for now the job market is treating me really well.
