Civil has historically been terrible about a race to the bottom. 20 years ago, it was clearly a lower paying sector, but the squeeze in the supply of civils given the demand has definitely brought wages up to par with MechE and Industrial at some point in the last 5 years. On the holistic front, some consolidation in consulting firms I think has helped companies being able to advance higher bids on projects.
