In general people do not ask for raises in big IT companies in US including Microsoft, Google, Facebook and others. The raises are function of performance review, title and budget with very little input from your actual manager. The best way to increase your income is not to ask for a raise but to either get promoted or find position at another company.
I have never ever asked for a raise in my life and I did pretty well for myself.

You do know about the recent anti-trust lawsuit against several of the companies you named for their non-poaching agreements right? These companies do all that they can to hold their workers' wages down. > I have never ever asked for a raise in my life and I did pretty well for myself. Imagine how well you'd have done for yourself had you not been such a pushover. EDIT: I will also add that it has always been my philosophy that if you do not feel you deserve a raise, you're doing a shitty job.
