Great tips, especially the tips offered under "How to get a Raise." I agree that doing your homework will help you figure out a reasonable rate for yourself. Chances are, your boss knows the market rate {and} if your current salary is above or below it. So having a ballpark or "range" as mentioned in "do your figurin'" that's both fair and truly what you feel you may be worth (with proof to back it up) is the best way to present your case. It's not always about the exact number that you desire, but what you're actually worth, what the market dictates, and if your company is in a position to make it happen.
