My title is a Project Engineer which, in my field, is a couple steps below a Project Manager. I have been drafting for almost 10 years, I have a PM certification, and I have 2 years of experience. I tend to pick up on anything construction fairly quickly but I am unsure what to ask for a salary in my coming review. (I had a career change two years ago when I was told I topped out at my last employer.) I fear I am paid less because I am a woman. I am the only female in my department. Salary??

I would suggest looking on Glassdoor, see what other companies in your area pay at similar levels, see what it states your own company pays. I would request at least a 5% raise potentially more depending on what you find in regards to how others are paid. I know it is frowned upon but if you feel comfortable speaking with others in similar role as you at your company or another what they make I suggest doing it. It helps to understand where you stand. I am a woman as well and had this conversation with a male counterpart once and was nice to learn I was making slight more than him.

I tried to have this discussion with a male counterpart and unfortunately he refused to partake. I would have loved to know, and share mine as well! I don’t know why this question threatens so many people.

Starting to see a lot of compensation threads and even within the same city, the variance of salary is really noticeable. I didn’t expect the spread to be this high, especially in high COL areas.

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.

Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
