New hires in same role get +30% more than me. When I asked for a raise, my manager told me he already had one planned but I'm sure it won't be +30%.

I've been working 3 years at a big company that is doing well and has been hiring new people (with some years experience in similar roles), with salaries about +30% more than what I make now, which is market rate for my role.

I am one of the best in the team despite being only 3 years here. I know some new hires are getting even +35% more than good employee with 6-7 years experience.

The company is also looking for new hires in my region to help me lower my workload and they are struggling to find valid candidates. I speculate I may find myself training someone getting paid more than me. Until now I didn't act because I was still enstablishing in my role but now things completely changed and I have more bargain power.

When I called my manager to ask for a raise he surprised me by saying he already had a raise planned for me and we're gonna meet next week to close the deal.

I didn't explicity mentioned sums and he didn't either on the phone. I just basically told him I would not want to leave but I know my worth. But from what he told me I am 99% sure it will just be a minimal pay raise (so only +10/12%) like my company policy usually apply for raises.

1) How do I prepare for the meeting, in case the raise is only +10% ? My manager probably does not expect me to demand more.

2) Should I just get what they offer me and look for other jobs?

3) I hate the possibility I might be forced to leave just to get a competitive salary for my role. How do I let my manager know I won't take an offer under a certain sum without appearing too confrontational?
