Also Should I focus the discussion on how i've grown since my employment, what about the extra work I do compared to everyone else? (in my case yes, i do extra work than others when we have the same job title) Also would you shoot high for like 15% pay increase?

I have worked there for 5 years, have a appt with my boss to ask for one any input appreciated. Thanks!
