I got bumped 2 pay levels and made journeyman technician. I started out after I graduated school 2 years ago as a grade 4, now I am grade 9. The general policy is no more than 1 grade per year making 5 years that it should take to get to where I am now. My last boss was bumping me one grade per review (every 6 months). This time I got bumped to the top and am now a senior technician, at least 3 years ahead of my peers. I was hired into a journeyman position 18 months ago but didn't get the pay till now. I am so damn happy about this.
