How much raise should I get?

I started with this startup new york based around 11 months ago and I was on the growth team and i wss the first growth/marketing hire. Company had no sales team, no marketing, nothing, just a startup. we grew the company 500% in less than a year today, got like 25 full-time employees, and a huge team. I started convo of like hey I deserve a promotion but management seemed like it's pushing it back for a month or so. Am confused about what is the right move here, and I think I will get a promotion in a month or two but I am not sure how much should be considered a good enough raise. Should I push for it and how much is good enough? Or wait and see how much they offer? #equity #startup Genuinely have no idea of what is a good one I am hoping for a 50% bump, but I'm not sure. Would love some advice. Note: there have been 2 people, 1 me and another senior person responsible for the entire growth, we got all the meetings and did everything, he has left 4 months ago and I took over and I am killing it. TC: 120k

Wait and see. Going in asking for a 50% raise is a great way to get fired fast. Be happy with 5% which is probably more than you will likely get.
