Salary range A to D: A:$5,849.00 - D:$10,956.00, automatic raise until C, then pass EIT and PE for range D.
A $5,849.00 for starter with no experience
B: Second year from range A. If you have 2 years experience
C: After 3 more years then 2 more years to max out at $8939 (I think it's around $10k max now. I think 2% raise this July too)
D: If you have PE, it starts from middle of range C then max out D
However, engineer union always requests raise every year for 2 years ahead where usually 2% to 3.5% raise, So you always know ahead that you will get raise beside the ranges above. No matter how your performance at work is all engineers will get the same raise.
Keep 2000 hours of sickleave (take 20 years) will count as 1 year service toward another 2% pension. In the past they allowed you buy 5 years service for $50k but it's no longer available which mean you retire at 60 but actually 65 where you get more pension.
I don't have EIT or PE, those 8 hrs exam are torture and cost to sign up too. A lot people take like more than 5 times
In the past, it was only 5k different in a year with PE license so I didn't bother. I went ahead with different direction to take CNA and MSCE license to be a network consultant where made a lot of easy money by working at home with remote access. For the last 20 years, I only spent on my consultant checks and never touch my main job salary. That's why I have been max out 401k and 457 retirement plans.
He can buy EIT and PE books on amazon. We have library that he can check out EIT and PT books and practice exam if he gets the job at Caltrans. It's best he takes EIT exam right away since he's still remember all the formulas from school. Exam is only 2 times a year in April and October.
Don't worry about hook up, I am sure he will get it. we have short people because too many retirement. I believe in the next 2-5 years, thousand will retire Because we haven't hired anyone between 2010-2018, so we are looking for people out of state too.
I don't have EE bond. I think EE bonds tax free for education only.
