For those with 2-5 YOE, what is your salary?

curious to ask

In company what is the usual increment in salary if there’s not promotion of title?

3%? 5%? 10%?

If increase by 100-200 dollar only is quite lowball tbh

Total a bit less than 3 years exp

6 months later -

2019 - 4300 (1 month bonus) - no increment as joined 2nd half of 2018
2020 - 4900 (3 months bonus)
2021 - 5250 (Jan to Jun) / 5900 (Jul to Dec) (5 months bonus)
2022 - 69xx (3.5 months bonus)

Promotion quite quick in the last half year or so because my company was trying to align with market, and talent is generally in short supply in my sector. I've had more than four recruiters contact me from the start of this year, which I guess is an encouraging sign.

One of my colleagues left for a new role with at least a 30 - 40% increment, but given I'm quite happy with the work/autonomy/balance in my job I'm not sure I want to leave, especially with my current career trajectory.

Assuming we are talking about salaries for people with less than 5 YoE, 7-8% would probably be the absolute minimum for me to not go looking every other year.

5% is very meh especially for those drawing 3-5k a month. Anything less than that is as a good as nothing, and a clear sign that you should be looking to leave the coy asap.

i thought 100-200 pay raise is a norm in engineering field?

No idea what engineering increment is but 100 or even 200 every month for say 5 years is going to leave you significantly behind market...
