y, I wouldn't express hey I'm being recruited. If they value you and you are providing value use that as leverage. Sometimes no matter how good a developer you are or how valuable you are they won't give you the raise you think you deserve. Sadly sometimes the best way to get a large raise is to change companies so keep that in mind. Good luck.
