I am currently a Junior Engineer with 5 years experience, I have been with the same company for 3 years now. I have my yearly review coming up and was asked to present a raise I desire. I feel my company underpays their employees but was wondering what the average salary is for someone in my position. My company has also mentioned wanting me to shift into the environmental engineering world which is where my strengths are

I am 4 years in with a non-Stem degree making ~$200k TC working in commercial pharma. Did 3.5 years in consulting before being recruited by my client to industry. I know people making more and less with the same experience. You should definitely be making over 100k regardless of location/COLA

You moved from engineering to big pharma?

It's the truth. I worked at the same company for 6 years out of college and was still only a level 2 engineer which is insane. Everyone's experience is different, but this is typically the case with your first and second jobs. The second or third job is typically where you can command a premium after you have demonstrated your value in previous roles, but you are very unlikely to find your deserved financial compensation when staying with the same company. Consider moving around if you want a big bump.

You are not PE yet right? It can be a leverage for upgrade though

A PE seems to have a $10,000 market salary increase. It really depends on your starting salary and if you’ve received inflation adjustments or real raises.
