How to ask for a raise?

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to start a more current thread on how to approach asking for a raise, specifically relating to RE.

I’ve read through the threads on this website, as well as some of the generic information on Google. The issue is that a lot of the results seem to conflict.

Can anyone speak to real-world examples from the perspective of asking for a raise? Or, potentially even more valuable, can someone speak to having an employee ask for a raise and how you evaluated how to respond?

I understand the market is tough right now, but I assume the general principles still stand.
