re: Did you get a good raise and/or bonus this year?

I got a promotion that came with a 30% increase. I was already doing the work required for the new job for the most part and someone left and there was an official position for me to apply to. I was shocked when they offered me a 25% raise and almost didn't negotiate for the other 5%. The hiring manager laughed when I asked for the other 5% and said he gets it and gave it to me. Bonus in the new position jumped from 8% to 12% also.

Merit increase for the year came in at 3% in addition to the increase I just got.

I've been with the company for 18 years in August so this was the catchup from all the prior years of mostly 3% increases.
