Finally talked with my boss

You got very good advice above.

Read it.

Twice.

Daily.

Until it sinks in.

And every time you want to go talk to management again.

You see yourself as a special somebody. That may be true...but to the company, you're a cog who needs to do what he's getting paid to do, and provide the best ratio of pay vs. his job description's responsibilities (not potential value add) that he provides. Talking about your wants and needs is a cost on their productivity as Jetset mentioned above.

Realize that not all work has value. Exceeding the top of the standards for certain tasks SUBTRACTS value in the eyes of the company (less time for their worker drone, aka you, to do other things).

You need to show gratitude to your bosses. Ask them for advice on progression. Stop spending unnecessary time on tasks that do not add value to the company. Instead, every time you have free time, ask your managers for things you can do to help them. In particular, ask if you can tackle any projects beyond the day to day.

And when you talk to them next, your first words should be "thank you for your advice on X you gave me last time. I did A, B, C to pursue that advice, it helped me accomplish M, N, O, and the company benefited with S, T, U, V." Then have the rest of the conversation. (see my prior post)

This has a format you can follow. This ensures you look serious in their eyes and DELIVER.

Don't raise your voice about another raise until at least formal reviews at year end. Your manager took a bet on you by giving you a raise. You need to demonstrate that your value add is going to keep increasing.

In fact, before you ask for more money, at least two people you report to should tell you "wow, you've been doing great work."
