I'm working for a company who has sent me abroad to work at a client's site. There was two of us here, but now one guy has left. I figure now is the best time to sort out a pay increase. I haven't had a payrise for a couple of years now, and I should be on around 10% to 20% more (more considering my revenue for being on-site).
Myself and this other guy were the only people to work on this product, so if I leave now, my company will lose out on a lot of business. On the other hand, my manager knows that I'm not unhappy with how my job is going, so I don't have that much leverage, and I've already been offered a payrise (I find out the amount in August - though I've been told it's not "thousands and thousands of pounds").
Any thoughts on the best way to get a decent payrise out of this?
