My last was 15%.
But 800%!? Crumbs. Bet there was a good night down the pub celebrating that one.

it kind of hard to cement, as I mostly work on a pay scale I call "The scale of pain." The more pain/energy/whatever I have to put into a project, the more money I demand (I'm mostly a freelancer)
However, that may end soon since I'm starting up a new company which you all will find out more about soon enough.

As a lowly Intern, I have received 0% raise.

Last summer i made 600 for the summer, this summer im up to 4k, so thats a decent 567% raise.

In Corporate America I have found that typically anything over 15% has to come with a promotion. If it's just an annual review depending on the company, market, job and how you performed I think 3%-15% is somewhat average.

That's horrible, where do you live? In America you'd need 150 hour weeks to survive at that rate.
