Asking for a pay rise in 2023

With all the tech layoffs happening it feels like a bad time to be asking for a pay rise. But cost of living is increasing, and inflation is still ongoing.

What is your advice to an engineer who believes they deserve a pay rise (several years in same company, increasing responsibilities, good performance)? How would you go about approaching your manager? And would you discuss this issue with your colleagues also?

This is really good advice. I like the point about the human angle regarding the manager's mood.
