bring another job offer to your boss. Either he sweetens the deal (or even matches) or you walk .
I’ve done this a few times. And every time I’ve been told “Well we were about to give you a big raise. Poor timing on us but let me make up for it now and give you that raise”. If you want actual big % increase, you have to get another offer.

Fairly new and you want around the same pay as experienced employees? Do you understand what you typed?
Not everyone negotiates the same. Actually most just take the offer. I know of a position where one girl negotiated and the other took the offer. Nearly a 20% difference in starting pay. That 20% is going to grow since raises are done on a percentage basis. Someone new that negotiated could be making more than someone experienced without any negotiating skills.
Unfortunately the best ways to get a raise are to get promoted or to leave. Often it is easier to just leave.

I have been with my company for 16 years and a 18 months ago I asked for a raise and they gave me a slap in the face raise. Went and found another job making what I was asking for and submitted my notice and they ended up giving me a 35% raise and a few other concessions.
That’s the only prompting companies respond to, but there’s always a chance they say take the new job.
