OP here, this thread has probably died, but I thought I'd inform you how it went.

Last night, I had my yearly meeting with my boss. I talked about all the progress I have made, my critical contributions to the project I'm in, and kind of hinted that the client would be stuck if I left the team in a short notice.

He straight away gave a number of 37K, I took it.

That probably means he could have gone to 40k with a bit of huffing and puffing :) but it’s still a pretty good yoy raise.
