[QUOTE="tistan, post: 15095983, member: 26495"] I just quit a job 2.5 years ago because I didn't get a raise for 7 years. I summed that up to the economy. I was planning on going in business for myself, but I got a job offer that passed on an opportunity that I couldn't pass up as long as I stayed for 2 years. I have been eligible for my residential contractors license for a few years. Working for the new boss, I am now eligible for my light commercial license. I've been there 2 years and a couple months, and I haven't had a raise yet. I'm not sure if my boss is making good money or not because, even though I price the jobs, he doesn't ever go over the final billing with me. I don't really give a shit what he makes, I just want to know if I am pricing the jobs right. I really do not like where I live and am ready to pack up and move. My girlfriend for the last 1.5 years is finishing her masters in interior design in May. She thinks I should ask for a raise. If I am doing a good job, I feel it is unreasonable for me to have to ask for a raise. I feel If I have to ask for a raise, then it is a dead end job and I should get out now. The goal is, when she graduates, look for a new location to live and go into business together designing and building homes and remodels. I am hitting the point that I don't want to go to work anymore. I don't really need the money, and I could find cash jobs to do for the next 6 month to a year. Am I being stubborn, or should I ask for a raise, when I know I am leaving in a year. I am also a very good carpenter with all of my own equipment. I have options, but I am not really sure what to do. I am just not sure I can get up for the next year and give a shit about what happens to someone's company. I'm not sure what to do, maybe just looking for feedback. [/QUOTE]
