We've got to normalize talking about pay rates for difference jobs so people get an idea of what they're worth.
I'm a P.Eng with 5 years of experience after graduation. I work in a small-mid sized (200 employees across 5 offices) consulting firm working with municipalities to do design of road and sewer reconstructions. Salary progress has been 45k-45k-65k-74k-85k each year, and we hit profit sharing this year, which added 9k. Typically I expect closer to 5k profit sharing.
Absolutely! It's a brilliant idea. We definitely need to normalize discussing pay rates for different jobs so that everyone has a clearer understanding of their worth. I hope more people will join in on this important conversation.
I'll do my part when I find the new job I'm looking for.
