Be prepared, with your own experience and expertise going in with amount you think you're owed. Also, go in with measurable metrics as proof, not conjectures, but proof. You comparing your desk traffic to someone else's should not be a part of this chat, speak to the work.

Is this offcycle? Or are you finding out that you are paid below market? If it is offcycle and you work for a big company you are likely unless you are a start performer to not get too far. If it is a smaller company and they are doing well then you could budge them using market data and comparatives from other similar size and funded companies. Use that information to create a spreadsheet with information about the content of the roles similar at those companies that could help you to get ahead. Cost of living should be considered too. Don't make it a demand, go with data and information and if you are rejected from that ask about how you can get there with either additional work or other challenges in the role.
