You need to ask the following questions (to yourself): - Has your salary increased with inflation? - Has your job changed to include increased responsibilities? - Do you feel others are getting paid more than you for the same roles with similar experience? If the answers above are no then its unlikely you would get a pay rise. Unfortunately I have to agree with a lot of the people below, the best way of securing more money is to find a different job with a different company. Asking "I have been offered X - can you match it?" is a sure fire way to have confidence in you reduced. If you feel you are capable (and the company can support it) then by all means ask for a promotion and a salary package that matches it and your wants. New jobs mean new challenges and new learning experiences - this should also factor into your decision, the ability to work at something modern you are interested in on the job is a perk many people dismiss!
