Do you expect to get a raise or a promotion after you pass all your exams?
If you have passed all your exams did you get a raise or promotion?

Architecture can really suck in terms of compensation. We all know this. However.....I currently have no complaints:
Just over a year ago, I got a new job at a much better firm -- and I got a very large raise in that process. Then, shortly after starting the new job, I began the 5.0 exams. About three months ago I got licensed, and really did not expect much to happen. I figured they'd pay my testing fees, but that did not happen. What did happen was another substantial salary raise. The kind where you look at it a while to find where the mistake must be.
But no jealousy required -- I've been at this a while, and have also worked some in some absolutely terrible positions.

Also, I am hearing more recently-licensed architects mentioning significant raises -- which, if you back up a few years, was NOT happening very much.

That's usually what you have to do. Especially if firm leadership is over 50.

I got a raise when I got the new job, but a year later I also actually got one just for getting licensed.

But, yes -- sometimes leaving a position is the only way to get a raise.
