I’m managing three active projects and mentoring junior staff but my salary has barely moved in the past two years. Grant funding is stable but raises are minimal. I enjoy the work but worry about stagnation. How long is it reasonable to wait for growth in roles like this?

Have you discussed your concerns with your supervisor? Because that’s the first and most important step. Your employer isn’t just going to promote you. They will keep working you too death at your current level as long as you’ll tolerate it.
