<prompt> Human: General question: If ones asks for a raise, and then receives it, is there usually an expectation that you will then remain at that job for a certain period of time?My situation: Im looking to move on from my job that Ive had for about 5 years since graduating college, probably sometime in the next year. At the same time I have asked for several raises during my time here and would probably be granted a new one if I asked. Since Ill likely be here for at least 6 more months I could use the raise, however I dont want it to seem untoward if I then leave before 2017. Is there a rule of thumb here? I could use the extra cash, but really dont want to burn any bridges.  <response>: I dont think it would burn a bridge as long as you left on amicable terms. The raise is for the work youre doing, not for the work you will do or have done. If they feel youre worth what youre asking then so be it.
