What are you other EITs making?

[Super_Geo]

Just curious...

[PearlTSX]

You should also ask people what field they are in.

I'm a chemical engineer at an Oil company

P.S. The APEGGA salary survey is out too

Actually I think you have to be an EIT for 4 years now... fuck it used to be 2...

[rc2002]

OMFG you guys are raking it in. I need to find a new job. You need to add a new category for 3rd year 65-70k. :(

[USED1]

I'm a chemical engineer working for an EPC.

[simke]

I'm a second year civil eng. and seeing how much other people make just ruined my day. Are all the people that voted O&G guys?

I think we can safely say that 1st year EITs making 75K+ are either lying or on contract. And if they're on contract, they aren't making 75+ (in real dollars).

^, That or they work in the field and are paid a base salary plus comission. I think last year a friend of mine whose basically a field wire lineman raked in something like 90k. It's ridiculous, wish i was making over 50.

I been told the APEGGA salary survey is major lowball. Cause according to that survey and the vaule of professional services guidelines, you can't even get 70+k base or 80+k total cash (don't think stock options or employee contractor are counted, etc.) until you're a P.Eng.
And in this poll the lowest bracket for 3rd Year is already 70-82k

[Crymson]

Well, we get this thing at work that lays out EVERYTHING the company pays for.

Base Salary + bonus + options (assuming a reasonable growth rate and letting them sit for the max time) + pension + savings plan + benifits.

Basically it worked out that someone who's base salary as a new grad engineer was about 55k their total yearly earnings would work out to somewhere around 98K. (NOTE! this is assuming that the option grant you were given your first year, was exersized upon expirey, and that money is credited back to you first year's earnings)

This was few years ago, i'm sure starting base salary is just slightly north of 60k now.

where's the unemployed option

And who do you work for?

Hopefully I reach the 2nd range for 1st year EITs after I get my raise in March!

I think the APEGGA salary survey is actually quite accurate. It has sections for both base compensation and for total compensation.

Example if you look at the mean salary for New Grads last year (A repsonsibilty) the APEGGA survey says $61434 base and $68708 total compensation for O&G. Both numbers are about right assuming a 10% bonus

Damn, your making good cash now then

[CSMRX7]

I think its low.

I use to be involved in hiring first year EITs and if we paid 60k we wouldn't pick up anyone, and those we did would leave for better pay.

[khtm]

Has anyone seen the salary survey PDF for 2006? WTF is up with it...lots of the tables go right off the sides of the pages and you can't read them. I can't believe they'd actually post that crap on the internet.

Anyways, I don't trust it for as far as I can throw it. Only 2% of Engineers work >40 hours a week? YEAH FVCKIN' RIGHT APEGGA.

[no_joke]

Something doesn't jibe here...

I was just looking at the salary survey from APEGGA and an avg A has 2 years experience and avg B has 8 years so EIT is generally an A. The June 2006 data gives a range of about 45-64k for middle 80%. So either all the EITs on Beyond are in the top 10% or the survey numbers are off.

Even Bs are listed as 63-74k but seems low for 8 yrs of experience. Really low. Regardless, the A class EITs here are straight up ballin'.

[Crymson]

I *think* apegga is only based on base salary.

This survey is supposed to included bonuses etc..

[Aleks]

With: options, bonuses, shares, rrsp contributions it's easy to get up there. I am a 3rd year guy in O&G

I used to think it would be sweet making decent coin right out of school. Nothing much changes really, other then your spending goes up with mortgage, cars, investments etc etc. I should move back home and drive a beater. :bigpimp:

Too true. The more you make, the more you spend...

Living at home helps me compensate my low wages. If I wasn't living at home, I wouldn't have any money to mod cars with.

In my company's current fiscal year, I am on track to make about $108,000 but I picked 82-90k because that is what I have made the past two years and I am in my fourth year (37 months into my EIT period). Currently I am onsite managing a facility drill (HDD under a river).
