I’m an Architectural Designer but employed directly by a large bank.

Raises are typically 3-6%, but every few years it can be double that without a promotion. 10% bonus.

Raise was going to be 5.25%. I countered w inflation & salaries of comparable jobs (higher than avg). After lots of back & forth, ended up with a total increase of 21%! No change in duties.
