Also, salary bands may be fixed, but if your thing is important enough, it probably needs a director, right?

He works for Dell, right? Forget it. Large, public corporations don’t hand out raises on a whim, and they absolutely will not give raises over a certain percentage (probably around 10%). I had to leave my company and come back in order to get a significant "raise."
So when i had the good manager, he actually got me a 30% raise randomly. Then in the same year got me promoted which was another 20%. This was roughly 2 years ago. I actually have never had a manager go to bat like that for me.
