You misunderstand the fundamental reason why you are getting a 2% salary increase every year. Because when you joined the company, 5 years ago, you were happy with $XX,000. You were ok with that salary one year ago. What changed? Why would you suddenly want a lot more?
PS: the answer is "because the market has moved and values me at that higher price now", which needs to be backed up with something such as a job offer (dangerous), or better, evidence (my friends with similar resumes are getting offers at that price).

- AstralStorm 8y agoThe evidence gets you nothing. Only an actual job offer could work, anything else is unsafe in the extreme and might get you big unwanted notice. Trying to negotiate from weak no fallback position is bad. (In other words, it can get you shortlisted and potentially flagged as a troublemaker. Say bye to references. Employers talk sometimes.)
