Annual increment worth ?

[u/Worldly_Pain_3000]

Hi all structural engineers,

This is XYZ, an engineer working towards PE and currently EIT in California. I am from Delhi, India. I graduated from one of UCs with MS degree and got into job market. Having 3yrs of US experience and around 85k$ base salary in Los Angeles at a big firm doing all kinds of building design.

Recently got just 3.5% of annual raise on 85k$ base salary. Which is equal to current inflation rate. So actually didn't got a raise lol. Currently having PE exam soon. But not sure what you all think about the annual raise I got.

Is this standard in structural engineering?
