I work doing substation engineering design, USA. I'm currently at 84K with 4 years experience. What is anyone else making in substation engineering? Other companies seem to be paying more and want to know if I am being underpaid.

I make that with under 1YOE so maybe talk to your supervisor?

What kind of work do you do?? If you don't mind elaborating

Location? Are you a PE? If you’re an EIT your pay is provably fair. You’ll have a big jump and a lot more negotiating power once you’re licensed, though.

Montana, but work remotely for clients in the Midwest region. Not quite licensed as a full PE until I can take the exam next year. I've been seeing former college friends making upwards for 105k for the same job duties.

Maybe try to find a similar position working for an actual electrical utility company and you may actually make more $$$.

I will be out a few hundred dollars almost 1K and a big dent in the trip now. Should I keep pushing or should I just count my losses and fold.

Hi All,

I have an offer of 6.5 LPA fixed with Accenture (Level 11). Total CTC in Accenture is 7.8 LPA which includes variable pay. I have an offer of 8 LPA fixed with another company. I have accepted the offer of Accenture so now if I ask Accenture to increase my fixed amount to 7 LPA from 6.5 LPA, will my request get fulfilled and is this fair to ask? My joining date is 20-21 days from today. Please suggest
