Re: Are you getting a pay rise this year?
Yes
Starting a new contract next week at a higher rate - the highest its been in 3 years. Things definitely on the up here - and about time as its been dire for too long
Also looking at freelance work in the UK for later on this year - engineering is going off over there

Re: Are you getting a pay rise this year?
It is what it is - the law of supply and demand - the only factor when it comes to what you are paid
Engineering people in Sydney would have been in the same boat. Even at its worse, I was earning more here than I could ever get in Sydney - which is a dead-zone for real project engineering

No, but I did get to keep my job due to a mass cull at the office. It did involve a minor move to another country though!!!

And often pays more than infrastructure engineering when the troughs are on too - building services EC&I are the mud race of electrical engineering design

Yes, 2.5%. Not in IT or finance.

No. Haven't had a pay adjustment for the past 10 years. Couldn't be happier.

Mine just came in at 2.86% on the basic pay (a global standard unless you well under paid or being encouraged to leave) and 5.6% added to the bonus component. Interesting tactic.

Re: Are you getting a pay rise this year?
Changing jobs again for about 25% more pay. I only lasted a few weeks in the other job before this offer came along
Back on a new mining project in the city after several years in an industrial estate - more nice places for lunch and loads of hot women to ogle
And it's proper engineering contractor hours too - minimum 45 hours a week. None of this namby pamby, leftie, staffie snowflake 38-40 hours. Work me until I drop but just pay me for every second of it
Things definitely on the up in WA in my gig
