How long should you work without a raise?
Technically, two years could be considered the maximum time you should expect between raises, but don't allow it to go that long. If you wait to start your job search until 24 months have passed, you may not be in a new job until you're going on a third year of wage stagnation.Will my boss get mad if I ask for a raise?
