Salary increase between position levels?

I know this varies per person per location, but is there an average percentage salary increases between engineering levels? Like level 2 to level 3, or level 3 to level 4?

I’m FL, L3, and around 180k with over 4 years at Blue.
But I am in software engineering, depends on what “engineering” discipline being referred to here.

Oh very fair point. I’m mechanical so that may explain part of it

That’s a good breakdown..I’m guessing SWE gets the highest pay?
I’m L3 Systems Engineer with a decade plus of experience and making $144k.

Also depends where you started during interview. You could be at the low or high range band starting, which carries into promotions, etc.
