PE Raise
PE Raise
(OP)
I just passed the PE in Maryland, but I think my situation may be a little different than most. I am now one of two PEs in my office and I work for a general contractor, not a design office. I just recieved a 5% raise in the beginning of June for my yearly increase. I have not recieved a bump from passing the PE yet. What are peoples experiences with this? Should I expect one now? I am waiting to get reciprocity in DE where we also do a lot of work. I am considering waiting until that process is completed to ask the powers that be.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Which itself is not the first thread on this topic.
It's always a good idea to search a forum first (or in this case, glance at the top few threads...) to see if your question has already been answered.

RE: PE Raise
Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I read some posts before I posted my question and I am looking more for some opinion on what I think is a unique situation...maybe it's not so unique. I work for a general contractor doing heavy highway and land development work. I don't get into too much design work aside from looking at alternate proposals from what the local engineering companies design. I had hoped someone might have some insight to this situation. From what I can see from various salary surveys (ASCE & salary.com) I am about 12.5% below average for my position. Obviously, I can jump ship and move on, but I enjoy my work and the company as well. I guess I'll play it by ear, wait until I get licensed in DE, and go from there.

What are you to do? If the time has passed nothing. Once you get recipricity, then go to your boss and ask for a raise. Then wait and see.

Sorry, it's not unique.
