Good luck!
I asked for a $10/hr raise, and got a $5/hr raise, no questions asked. I'll settle for that.

hah wow I forgot about this thread 
anyways I talked to him last monday and it went well. he asked me if I had a # in mind and I told him that I did research on the average in our area doing software engineering and he agreed that it sounded reasonable. i also pleaded my case more that I am a valuable asset to the company and that I have been taking charge of my area of expertise and made it my own, and he agreed and told me that the higher ups agreed as well.
he then said that he sees there is a gap between what I make now and what the industry is moving at and that he definitely believes that the gap can be filled. he also said that he see's potential for me here because I have social skills which many engineers here don't, and we talked about how even though we wouldn't say names, there are engineers here that have been working here for 10+ years but they will never see managerial positions for the fact they don't have any people skills.
we also talked about how now he wants to get me into more challenging projects and get me out of this "beginner" type of projects I've been doing since I got here. I told him I am ready for the challenge that lies ahead because when the answer is not straight forward, it usually motivates me more and drives me to get it done.
he told me he's going to talk to the higher ups about me getting a larger raise this year and that he wouldn' tknow the final decision until we receive our letters about our raise towards the end of hte month.
so basically I should expect to get a bigger raise this year but I won't know how much until we receive our letters towards the end of this month.
