30% at least, which is about where the low end of my range is. So that sounds about right. Thanks.

Yeah, go for it. 30% pay rises aren't as rare in this game as you seem to think -- as it's so difficult to work out in advance how good someone's going to be, underpayment is rife. When I was just starting out in the coding business, I had several 25%+ pay rises.
