I have 2.5 years of work experience and I just passed the Electrical P.E exam. I have no idea of how much money I should be making since I now have a licence in California. Also I live in the Bay Area (CA). Any ideas??
You probably will get a 10% raise if you are lucky enough in this economy. I personally think 5-6% is fair base on the amount of experience you have. I have 3.5 years of experience and I don't think I know as much as the non-PE guys in the office with 10 years experience. The point is you need to have more years of experience and take more responsibilities to become valuable for the company. Until then you can ask as much raise as you want.I have 2.5 years of work experience and I just passed the Electrical P.E exam.

Art, are you hiring?
lol, as a matter of fact, yes...but I do the electrical/controls, which only keeps me busy ~10% of the time, if that...
it's a small portion of municipal work: water/wastewater...
although I do miss it at times
the balance is spent on PM, pump stations, plants, and client management/business development...
we are looking for some people:
land development & storm water
enviornmental & governmental compliance permitting
we do a lot of gas well & wind farm stuff...
rlyflag: Care to tell us how you know this?I know of this guy who is God's gift to stormwater modeling, which, in case you didn't know, is the most difficult engineering work ever.
Is it? You being a Civil and all, I would think it should be simple.I know of this guy who is God's gift to stormwater modeling, which, in case you didn't know, is the most difficult engineering work ever.
I like that!we hear thru the grapevine (funding agencies, RUS, etc.) that much $$$ is coming...in fact a solicitor for a borough I rep called it the 'engineers' retirement act of 2009', lol

I agree with the first sentence, but depending on the type of business, a PE can definately change that relationship. My company, an A/E, charges more for a PE than for a non-PE.I would say you are worth exactly what you make for your company. A PE doesn't change that relationship.
The relationship is exactly the same (in a general sense). Its just that now your company can make more because of you. The OP had it backwards.I agree with the first sentence, but depending on the type of business, a PE can definately change that relationship.
