Hi Jose, If you're starting out, the answer will depend on several factors.
If you're in an apprentice program, you will probably be governed by a pay scale which is established. Over time as your knowledge and skills improve you may be getting appropriate raises. Be sure you understand how this works before you start, and if you have skills, you may be able to negotiate a better deal for yourself. This is paying dues. Work safely, try and learn from the best people and keep learning.
If you are not in a formal program, make sure you make your expectations clear and listen carefully what the response is. Companies need people who are ready to work, ready to learn and have a good business sense. Your can demonstrate that before you're even hired. Make sure you're a good fit with the company you intend to work for.
Paying dues is frustrating and behaviors associated with frustration,
(short fuses, shouts and admonishments) are some of the most likely
behaviors to stall a career in its tracks. You contribute to an
organization by adding to it. Collaborate with others, ask a lot of
questions and heed those folks above you in the organization.
Good luck

It really is dependent on the industry that you work in, but I would say 3-5 years.

Hi Jose! A decent employer will usually provide some form of raise in pay annually, whether as a raise to keep up with inflation, or to recognize your experience and growth over the year. Understanding the standards and expectations of your employer is important when deciding to accept a position on their team. You should ask what your room for growth would be if you were to accept the position both in title and pay. This will be where they can let you know if they have an annual incentive program, an annual pay raise based on either inflation or performance or if pay raises only come with promotions. Even if pay raises are usually only with a job title promotion, there is almost always room for you to request a pay raise when you feel you have put in your dues, effectively contributed to the team, take on additional responsibilities, have a positive performance review, and the company is financially stable. I hope this helps!
