Yes you do. Hi Ryan. :)
Rather than ask for a raise, do your homework and find out compensation trends.
Write up what you've accomplished for the company, highlighting the extra value
that you've added to the company above and beyond the norm. If company
compensation rates are below the area norm, attach that in a very quick to read
and dirt simple to understand format.
Then, don't ask for a raise. Ask for a performance review. ;)
There's a big psychological difference between the two.
And make sure your write-up helps them connect the dots.

Usually, but not always true. There are ethical managers out there.
It comes down to a character judgment about your boss. And if you aren't
totally and completely sure **or** you can't afford to find out you were wrong
in your character judgment - follow Ryan's advice and keep your mouth shut
until you have a signed offer letter.
