Well, I try to not annoy the interviewer but one thing he must be sure of is that he is not the only one evaluating in the room. He is evaluating me on the basis of the interview, but I am evaluating his entire company on the very same basis.
The moment they understand they have the upper hand is the moment of your doom. Always give off a steady presence (even if you'r dirtying your underpants  ).

In the first few years of your career, 30% to 100% is reasonable. After that it will flatten out. You probably start contracting at this stage to make good money, as you have the experience to do so. After that you don't make any more yearly.

I took a salary hike once, our company was bought out and they told us to take a hike. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I'd get $5454/year if I switched jobs right now.

Looking at salary alone will put you in a position to get taken advantage of. You may take a job with a higher salary, but poor health benefits, no retirement contributions, little vacation etc.
I was given some negotiation advice by the owner of a recruiting company that my wife used to work for, and it has served me well over the last 20 years:
1. The compensation for a job is more than the salary. People always seem to get stuck on the salary. Kind of like car salesmen get stuck on "How much do you want to pay a month", not what is the price of the car.
2. When negotiating, the first one to name the price, loses.
When they ask, "What kind of compensation are you looking for?" defer, and respond with a question.
Example:
You: "How well do you think I am a fit for this job?"
Interviewer: "I think you're a great fit"
You: "I assume that you have a range you are willing to pay for this position, is that true?"
Interviewer: "Yes, we do."
You: "If you think I'm I great fit, I would like to me near the top end of your salary range."
This could go on, they may shy away from the number.
Continuation:
Interviewer: "Well, I can't name that number. What is your current salary?"
You: "I consider compensation to be more than the salary, what kind of benefits do you offer?"
Interviewer: "<response, defers>"
You: "What options for telecommuting, flexibility in schedule, vacation, bonuses"
Interviewer: "<response, defers>"
You: "What's the work culture like. Work/life balance? How many times a year do you have crunch mode... and so on"
Eventually someone will name a number.
3. Be creative if the company doesn't want to pay as much:
I met a guy that moved to Utah for an engineering firm, he took a pay cut because the cost of living is lower than where he moved from. He negotiated ski days into his package. Any days with fresh snow in the mountains, he could just take off and have a paid ski day.
4. It takes practice, but soon you'll be comfortable with it and reaping the benefits.
Those are things you should remember.
I turned down one job where they offered me a 30% increase over my current salary. The CEO of the company called me and tried to talk me into the job.
I asked "What kind of health insurance benefits do you offer?".
His response "I'm not sure, I don't use the insurance".
That was a HUGE red flag on top of all of the other reasons I decided to turn down the job.
Conclusion:
Your total compensation package is more than your salary.

Psy's Gangnam Style video has been watched so many times that YouTube's counter could not cope and the company had to upgrade its system. Why did this happen?
Read the explanation, it hurts my fragile brain.
