Ooh, it's annual review time in my office, too. My actual review usually goes pretty non-eventfully, so I'm not worried about that. I am a bit anxious about the salary adjustment this year though--since raises were virtually non-existent last year, I am hoping for a pretty decent increase this year. But I'm wondering what to do should that not be the case.  I'd really hate to start looking again, since I like where I am. But I'd feel shy about asking for more $$ too; since I know they put a lot of thought and research into salaries already I'm not sure what I could add except "gee I was really hoping for more!"   I'm just keeping my fingers crossed because since the company's profits are up raises should be accordingly generous (and hopefully talk of "economic recession" hasn't scared them off)!
