it's an architectural firm (i.e. one of the hardest hit industries)

17%

^^I'm in an architectural job (as an architect) and just got a 7% raise, in part to getting licensed, and a bonus worth about 11-12 weeks of pay. Gotta work for a larger firm.

Although I too am lucky to have a job.

22% jump doing the same job. it's relatively a low-paying place but with really good benefits. got the bump up courtesy of HR re-evaluating a few jobs

6/25/2012 9:59:38 PM

From my salary on 1/1/12 to today it has increased 55% (through promotion, annual review, and negotiation).

My biggest one time salary jump was 38.5% (2011).

yeah it's all very dependent on where you are, what size firm, & what your firm specializes in. we're small, 10 people including pres & vp, and we're in rocky mount.

i'm also not an architect. marketing coordinator is my official title but i do lot of other things beyond that.

^^ nice job!

I went from $11/hr to $20/hr and am getting a 5% raise in 6 months. At my last company no one ever got raises.

7/2/2012 9:40:16 AM

Just got a 16% raise but I'm still woefully underpaid.

7/2/2012 12:30:18 PM

just got bumped up 20% because they know I'm considering a move out of the area

but that probably won't change my mind...

8/1/2012 4:39:35 PM

If I get this job I'm interviewing for, it will be over 50%.

8/1/2012 5:24:16 PM

damn I'm doing it wrong. I got 3% pay raise and a $1500 (taxed) bonus to start the year. AND I was told I won't get promoted at least until late '13.

8/21/2012 5:00:01 PM

Is that a big raise?

8/21/2012 5:05:16 PM

Compared to the other posters, no.

8/21/2012 6:47:00 PM

I was promoted several years ago and got 33% raise but not much since.

8/22/2012 10:27:20 AM

hahahahha I couldn't hold a job to save my life. The biggest pay raise I've ever gotten was.. come to think of it, I don't think I have EVER gotten a raise at anything...

I've talked or conned myself into some pretty high starting salaries before but a raise...

bonuses like a motherfucker before. made a killing on private deals many times but a raise..

no I don't think anyone has EVER given me anything that looks like a raise...

hahhahahahah!!! holy shit, I'm a psychopath!!!! wow!

8/22/2012 5:45:35 PM

$27k/ year.

True story.

8/22/2012 8:16:28 PM

30%

11/6/2012 6:13:26 AM

signing bonus/new bonus structure at the new company included, I tripled my salary going from a private company to a public company. Just factoring base salaries, I doubled my salary.

11/6/2012 8:36:23 AM

30% raise from 08-09, 29% raise from 09-10, 19% raise from 10-11, dick since (thanks for the pay freeze, Congress)

the best one was the 10-11 though, because that got me to GS-12 and 70k/yr

3/8/2013 2:06:55 PM

3-400% going from being in a partnership back to a full time position.

3/9/2013 9:40:31 PM

Promotion in 10/2012 - 30%
Merit raise 2/13 - 12%

I'm at 48% overall since starting in 2011.

3/11/2013 8:34:47 PM

This year is going to be interesting. Got a pretty standard 3.5% raise this year after my large one last year so my salary is up 50% since starting in 2007 at least and this was my highest offer at the time. However, because I just took a field-assignment for the company, I'll be getting at least 30% more than my listed salary this year and possibly 50% more depending on how long I stay on. The downside is being away from home though.

3/11/2013 9:23:54 PM

55% increase, plus pension/student loan forgiveness if I stay in the system.

3/11/2013 9:52:02 PM

40.5% for one job to the next

From my first job out of college in 04 to today - 202%

3/12/2013 5:20:12 PM

not exactly a raise, but after being laid off last month, I just accepted a job that pays 20% higher + bonuses

3/13/2013 11:31:18 PM

Moved to NYC, making roughly 230% of what I made in Raleigh. Rent's a little higher though.

3/26/2013 4:17:24 PM

When I started at my current job I think my salary was 65k + bonuses. Previous job was 32k I think.

I've only had very small raises since then, maybe 1%/yr on average.
