I surprised myself and asked for a ridiculous raise last week. It came through yesterday without any push back. Companies may be be starting to see the light.

I have done this a few times. Usually along the lines of "Hey i like it here and I've done good work, but this is out of whack." 35%+ initial bump and usually accelerates further raises. This pattern suggests I'm terrible at negotiating initial offers but decent at navigating once in the door.
