    There has definitely been a rise in the salaries being offered out there, but they're still well below an acceptable standard.

    Given the pick up in the economy and the massive demand for engineers, is it now safe to say that the rates of pay aren't a supply/demand issue?

    Is it simply a down to us all in the industry constantly cutting the legs from each other?

    I've definitely noticed a big scramble to hire structural engineers in the last few months. Getting contacted on LinkedIn on a weekly basis by recruiters. Seeing a lot of people move around without an issue. Also seeing a lot of public, semi-state companies etc hiring (ESB, Councils, DAA).

    I have around 6 years experience and it seems to me that there is a big shortage of people in that 5 - 15 years experience range. I'd like to think if I moved sometime this year I'd by looking at a 10 to 15% increase at least. Still often think of leaving the private sector consultancy end of things, as it can be crazy stressful at times (lot of responsibility, under-resourced). And the wages are still too low imo. Having said that there seems to be so much work going on (housing shortage, office space shortage, dublin airport expansion, metro north, etc.) that maybe the tide will turn this year and salaries will get to an acceptable level.

    Anyone else feeling cautiously optimistic about 2019 and the next couple of years?
