<Appraisal> Do salary negotiations work

In this year's appraisal cycle, I got a good performance rating but bad hike and no promotion 😔 Currently multiple projects are highly dependant on me, and it will be difficult for the company to find a good replacement (Subtle flex, but it's true), and due to this I feel like I'm underpaid at my current level. Have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you negotiate a better salary? Should I look for a better offer outside and ask my current org if they can match it or resign? Because next appraisal/promotion will only happen a year later from now. Please share your experience of negotiating better salary at current org by getting a better offer outside, how did it go and what was the outcome?

I completed 3 months in the organization, and appraisal season started, how to tackel questions of how much hike should I get or ask for? If I don't ask I will be stuck until like 15 months on same salary. How to deal with it.

I work for a early stage startup (A) right now since about 1.5yrs at base 18lpa (no appraisal since my tenure even though I was told they have a bi-annual cycle, but It never happened) I have another company (B), willing to offer base 28lpa (but will require relocation). I still haven't interviewed at B, and was wondering if i can should talk to A asking for an appraisal? I'm also not sure if i should mention about B at all. How much i understand A will be like let us launch something and then we can talk about appraisals, but this has been going on since a year now and we tend to change the architecture or the methodology everytime we almost have something ready to ship. That being said still I'd rather stay at A than relocate for B at the moment. How should I go about this, any suggestions? TIA

I’m a software engineer at a mid size company. I have 1y3mo of work ex. Appraisals are around the corner, and although the work is great, the pay not so much. I earn less than 10LPA. How much of a hike should I deserve in this market assuming I have done a good job.

With the ongoing appraisal season what kind of hikes are you guys are anticipating / getting?

I'm part of a sales team at a Series A startup that recently secured new funding. I have made a vital contribution to the revenue created. Aiming for a 30% hike (on the fixed) in the upcoming appraisal – any tips on how to approach it?

Maybe it was just some situation in your favour and you decided to just go for it ? If not you, have you seen any colleague/friend doing it. What were their/your talking points? I'm planning to do it, need tips.
