Hi All, I am not a licensed architect yet (almost there) and this has prevented me from moving up in title in my current firm, and therefore has also impacted my salary. While my responsibilities and abilities have increased, my title has not. My last raise kept pace with inflation only, and so it wasn’t a raise at all. With 10-15 years experience, I currently make in the range of $110-120K at a firm in NYC. Is this a fair salary? Any recommendations for how to approach a raise?

it's not uncommon for someone to leave after getting their license. question - do you want to leave for other reasons?if so, maybe considering leaving before you're licensed so you're not making your company pay for your ticket to a better firm. but make sure you leave on good terms because you probably rely somewhat on an experience statement from several peers

Please take advantage of your firm OP. They are already taking advantage of you paying you that in such a high cost of living area with what I assume is copious amounts of unpaid overtime.

Move to building envelope consulting. You’ll make at least 20k to $30k more with the experience you already have and more if you ever plan to get your license. I find design architects pick this niche up very well and succeed. Can’t be petrified of heights though.
