Averages don't mean much. What you can expect depends on several factors:
* current salary and where that salary is in the range dictated for your
job title
* perceived performance relative to others competing for the same dollars
* visibility of your products
* how often performance reviews occur
One of the most important factors is
How the company is doing, financially. If they're not making money, or not
meeting plans, everyone hurts.
