So I had an informal sit in with my boss, and explained that I was happy here, and that I would like to discuss my future salary. I had some details and figures ready for him (as you all explained). I explained that I felt that I should be compensated for the additional work I was doing, and for the experience/credentials I have earned, but that I was also not upset where I am at and would continue to work with or without a raise. TLDR He offered me a 10% performance raise starting 1/1/2018, and an additional 10% raise 1/1/19 and we set some realistic and tangible goals in a two year plan. After the 20% raise (which he said would be to get me up to where I realistically should be) it would be back to the traditional 3-6% raise unless I take a new salary band or role.
Congratulations! You took my advice and it worked. Celebrate your new raise baw. That’s a very good compromise on the 20% between you and your boss. You’ll still get it, and he’ll have time to fit it into his budget

using simple math, you're getting an 8% incremental raise spread out over two years contingent upon meeting specific goals?
frick you man, let the guy be excited about his raise. It’s better than not asking at all

He would give me the 10% (so about 7% more than the usual raises) this year and an additional 10% next year (%14 on top of what I would have gotten)
I thought you just got a 6% raise this year - why do you assume only 3% moving forward?
Not to nitpick, but in a year and a half you will be compensated what you feel you are worth today. You will still be underpaid.

He started this entire thread by saying he felt his market comp was 20% higher based on his contributions and certifications. The boss said he will get 10% now (vs normal 6% raise) and 10% over a year from now (vs another 6%), contingent upon meeting certain goals.
So now he will have to do additional work to get paid two years from now what he is actually worth today.
Good on him for asking, but it's foolish to think he got what he asked for.

Which is pretty much the definition of compromise.
