ANYBODY GET THEIR PE RAISES YET??

[NSEARCH]

rleon - nice work man!! PM me the name of your company So I take it you're not on a salary? Or you are but you get overtime pay as well? If that's the case then you're gonna be banking!! I'd be STOKED to get time and a half for the few meager extra hours I put in each week. I'd like some more details via PM if ya wouldn't mind sharing :beerchug

 

[rleon82]

The company is offering just straight time overtime. Will PM more information later.

Who gets paid overtime??!! I would rather not have any . But if I do, I don't get paid for it!!

I got a $2500 raise with the PE license but am still less than 25th percentile for Civil engineer II, not III, but II!!! I think that the estimates on Salary.com must be overestimated. Who makes $60,000 as a Civil Engineer II?? And who makes $70,000 as a newly registered engineer??

Maybe if you work for a contractor and not a consultant?

I prefer low stress office job with little overtime so I'll keep my less than 25th percentile pay as long as my hubby pulls in the real money.

 

[rleon82]

Sorry, this guy wants to make as much as he can. My current employer gave me a $5K raise and I looked elsewhere.

I guess it depends on where you are working, I was offered more than you stated and it is a consultant.

Just a reminder....money brings responsibility. Plus the highest paid and newest usually go first when work gets slow .

 

[rleon82]

I have been in this business now for 6 years, never heard of a PE getting fired. There was one once, but he insulted a HUGE client and he was running his own business out of the office.

 

[knelli]

The last place I worked fired 4 registered structural engineers. As far as I was concerned not one of them deserved to get the axe!! I left shortly after because we were moving to a different city (thank goodness)!

[RIP - VTEnviro]

The management team is coming to my office on Friday, and I should find out how much I'll more cheddar I'm getting then. :danc

 

[rleon82]

VTE, good luck, I hope you get as much cheddar as you can. PM me when you get your offer, I would love to compare Cheddar.

 

[Lebowski]

Rleon - what do you do?

 

[rleon82]

For the new company I will be a project mananger/Design Engineer with a focus on Stormwater Drainage Design and Construction Management.

 

[What!!]

I got 36% raise after getting my PE. But probably because i was making less than 25 percentile for Civil Engineer 1 with my EIT.

:claps: :beerchug

 

[Slugger926]

No one at my company has seen a raise since 2001. Tellecom has been falling ever since.

 

[EdinNO]

That sucks big time.

At an HVAC mfg where I used to work, they would give VERY slim increases each year and claim low profits as the culprit. I hear they are still doing this. I think they use it as a scape goat.

[udpolo15]

I got my 24% raise from my current employeer. First mid year raise/promotoin in while. More was promised during the next review period.

 

[cement]

that is awesome! :claps:

I am supposed to get 15%, just got 2% cola, so maybe 17% total. I think I need to go to HR and knock some heads because it still has not come thru :fool:

A company can always have slim profit margins when increasing the CEO's pay to eat up all of the proffit.

I think the OIL and Gas companies that continue to have an 8% profit margin use this tactic.

 

[EdinNO]

Yeah, and how real is that 8%? I bet the numbers are fudged some way.

Oh-oh, this could turn into a whole new discussion now!
