Do you have a source for that? I'm surprised as when I contracted at the Intel fab in PHX, the workers in the actual fab were not making anything close to that. Management maybe, but not actual line workers. The standing joke was "they were working for the stock"...

- didibus 6y agoI found this which has a manufacturing plant section. No idea how accurate: https://www.zippia.com/intel-careers-6055/salary/#by-job-title https://www.zippia.com/intel-careers-6055/salary/#by-job-tit...
- mech422 6y agoHmm - that's interesting. If the "Intel Plant/Manufacturing Salaries" section is true, process technician and production operator (which I guess are the people that run the line?) make quite a bit below $100K. Oddly enough, it seems like the software jobs are better paid then the hardware ones? Thanks for the link!
- sgerenser 6y agoHow is that odd? Software salaries have been outpacing hardware ones for at least the past 1-2 decades. When the big tech companies are paying over $100k for software developers fresh out of college, supply and demand is probably forcing this state of affairs.
- mech422 6y agoI just would have figured a hardware company would be focusing on the hardware personnel. After all, there are plenty of places that don't pay FAANG level salaries for software developers. I still regularly see < $60K software jobs advertised from smaller companies.
