Lookback: After a major deal closes in June or July

Requesting a 15-18% raise to $225-230 base salary

My boss is hesitant to give me a raise due to a major deal, but proposed backpay and a raise after the deal closes

What I wish I knew
"How to effectively communicate my value to my boss"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be clear and confident when asking for a raise, and highlight your achievements and contributions to the company"
