Here’s some data on raises

Because you’re so plugged in to Starbuzz’s data, you have access to some sweet numbers: Human Resource’s records about raises for the past three years.

You might be able to wring some powerful insights out of this data. If you assume that your boss will act in a similar way to how previous bosses acted, this data could tell you what to expect.

Problem is, with approximately 3,000 employees, the data set is pretty big.

Jim:  We should forget about the data and just go for as much as we can get. Nothing in there will tell us what they think we’re worth. There’s a range of numbers in the boss’s head, and we need to figure out how to get the upper end of that range.
