As a civil engineer I received a 30% increase and a bonus

like

I should add that when I passed i also received my license.

Where I work a PE is just not needed much. My company encourages people to get it and also pays for it all, but there is no bump in pay. It can count as a year of service for some promotions.

I would make the distinction between passing the PE exam and then obtaining your PE license. I would expect a large raise once you have your license not necessarily when you’ve passed the exam, unless obviously these occur simultaneously.

like

I should clarify. It also depends on the type of engineering and the sector you work in. Not all PE’s are created equal. There is a large discrepancy in pay for a Civil Eng. who has their PE and one who doesn’t. Others like ME, it’s not that large of a difference.

Did your role change? Get more responsibilities?

We always celebrate when someone passes the test! What an accomplishment! Typically, there is a nice salary adjustment.

like

The company I was at when I passed my PE was a one time salary increase of $7500 and then I had actually passed it just before annual raise time so I got a promotion to go along with that so I went from I think like 73k to 84k-ish within a couple of months.
