I started out as a dev in my company. I got a nice 33% raise last year ( my salary wasn't that high ). Since then, I've taken up very important responsibilities for the company, and basically am no longer a dev. - I founded a branch office in a foreign country. - Found the proper place for the office. - Hire people. - Coach them. - Set up the workspaces. - I am Scrum Master in one project, about to become in a couple more. - I run the payroll, calculate invoices, meet legal obligations and whatnot... Basically running this place. EDIT : All of that applies only to the branch office. How can I justify a 25% raise? I don't want my boss to think I'm being unreasonable, in case that I am.
