Given that there's a supposed labor shortage; I recently submitted my resume on Indeed, and immediately got calls from companies wanting to interview me for positions that start at well over what I currently make. Some little birdie told my manager this and I recently got called into his office to talk about my future with the company. I told him I wanted a raise or I will be looking elsewhere. I never would've asked for a raise if I hadn't submitted my resume on Indeed because I wasn't sure what my leverage was.

Well I got the raise I asked for and I can finally afford dinner tonight.
I think I should've asked for more because they accepted my offer a little too quickly.
