Hello!
Interested in knowing salaries of Architectural Designers at AEC firms, and the change in compensation upon licensure in the USA (early career/ closer to graduation). Any bonuses or promotions upon being a licensed Architect?

Newly Registered Architect in Canada. Some firms give their employees bonuses, but it is not guaranteed. I’ve felt my firm has been more than fair with my salary in general compared to my counterparts in smaller architectural practises. Not sure if it’s the same but we usually have to renegotiate our salary if we want more, because after you’re licensed we’re not allowed to charge time and a half for OT, it’s all straight time.

Was making $65-ish prior to registration as an Architectural Intern of 5/6 years experience.
