This is a first for me and it left me feeling a bit confused

Whilst discussing a few things with my line manager today we got onto the subject of job satisfaction, Where I was honest and did let him know a few of my frustrations

He said he will alter a few things as he wants me to enjoy my work, This conversation then lead onto salary. This is where it got strange for me.

My manager said tell me what you want, in terms of salary.

But how do you put forward something that is reasonable without undercutting yourself or really over shooting it and looking greedy?

At the moment

I have (just) broken the higher tax bracket at the start of last year with just over 10 years experience in the industry and i have been with this company just over a year.

My salary sits at just over 50k currently

Looking at jobs currently advertised elsewhere these have a salary range from 35k-50k up to 100k as a senior....

You could ask for something that seems like a nice increase but also talk about increased responsibilities/a more senior position to justify the increase?
Over my time here there has been increases in responsibilities no salary changes previously
