Mid level Electrical Engineer in the greater Baltimore, MD area making $115k base w/ $20k sign on bonus. No yearly bonus. I started this job in April of this year. 2-3 years experience. When I onboarded they told me to expect promotion to EE III in about a year. Performance reviews coming at the end of the this year and I’m wondering 1) if my salary is on par with what I should expect 2) how to approach conversations about raises and promotion with my supervisor. Thanks for any insights.

Wow. That is a good comp for E2 but not sure what the adjustment for MD locations would be. Here in Orlando E2 pay band is 80-110K so you are towards the upper end of the band. Ask your leader for your comp ratio

I would not recommend asking for a promotion just for higher pay or look for an internal jump to an E3 with a role you would want. You could try asking for a letter grade promotion if you just want higher pay (for example E2G to E2F or E2B) you will probably earn more or as much as E3 G base pay as E2 if you can pull that off.

If there is an open requisition for the position, md law requires employers to provide a pay range for the position when requested.

I’m an electrical engineer in San Francisco, with 5.5 YOE and a PE. I only make $108K, plus a bonus for getting my PE this year. I would say your salary is good, but my company also isn’t known for offering the best pay.

Hi -

Getting ready for my first comp conversation with my manager this week and wanted some insights on the banking industry raises.

Can anyone please provide any insight on how raises typically work in this industry? I know bonuses are a big component, but does total comp increase year over year? Or will that increase with a promotion only, and till then the target bonus is the number to expect. Thanks in advance for any insight.
