I’m a PM at a Solar racking company. Been there 1.5 years. Been a PM and civil engineer for 7 years. Prior to that, I have 7 YOE as a graphic designer. So 14 YOE combined.

Currently making $85k base and bonus potential low this year. How can I make a leap into the $120k-$150k ballpark? Senior PM role or other? Stick with renewables or engineering?

You’re grossly underpaid. I’m an APM making 150k cash before paper money, <3 YOE. You should be clearing 200k at least.

I’m in HCOL, but my role’s remote

I feel like you should be at $200k… so a jump to what you mentioned wouldn’t be hard. Have you looked at a PM role at a consumer packaged goods company? Starbucks PM comes to mind.

That’s helpful - thanks everyone! I’ll keep digging - the civil/environmental engineering realm seems to have a lower salary cap. I’ll explore some other industries for PM, SPM, Biz Operations roles. Thanks!

Hi! I’ve been working as a project engineer with a PE at a civil/environmental firm for almost 5 years (right out of undergrad/masters), and am really low for WI with a salary of $65k. If you do want to stick to civil, fyi that ASCE has yearly salary report data that they publish for their members 😊

Yeah - back to you as well! Here’s to finding a path that works best for the both of us!
