What do you highlight about your performance at work to negotiate a higher raise?

For a yearly raise where they lowballed you.

Interview at other jobs and bring competing offers to your negotiation. If they intend to lowball you, quit.

It's a phenomenon known as diagonal promotion - leaving your current employer for a better one, negotiating a raise in the process. Then, repeat.

There's no use staying with a company that won't pay you your worth.
