This won’t help for this conversation but in the future, remember that the best way to get paid more is to move jobs. The norm nowadays is to move around different companies every handful of years, getting a pay increase each time. To that end, if you really want a raise, have a job offer hand. If you have another job offer at a higher pay, the company either has the choice to pay you more or let you leave. Even if they won’t match the offer, they can still meet you partway. Either way, you win.
