I am writing my year end assessment that the manager uses to give my performance review. I am thinking about writing that I’d like a 15% raise in the comments. Should I write that? Lockheed pay is pretty low already.
TC or GTFO
114k, I said it’s low
why not leetcode and leave
Write it
Don’t write it. Talk to your manager face to face. Writing it in the comments make you look passive aggressive.
Don’t write that. It doesn’t matter what you’d like. Use your assessment to demonstrate how you *deserve* a raise based on your accomplishments. Then broach the subject during your meeting, after going over both of your reviews, maybe adding a layer about market price.
Don’t write it, talk to the manager. I used to be in aerospace too, and the answer is probably going to be a big “no,” but that’s the correct way to bring it up. Aerospace loves to throw you a 5-6% raise and act like they’ve moved mountains for you. I left when another team internally offered me a job with a 20% raise, but HR shot it down and said it was too much money. Left and got that raise elsewhere.
If raises are important to you start interviewing

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
I think by the time they read your comment, the raise would already be set in stone
So you mean it’s set before they do the performance review?
Of course. They already have something in mind. Your self review is a nice to have
