Geez, where the heck do any of these people work?!? I am a unix/linux expert, Ph.D. in computer engineering, and have been a tenure track professor (left to go back to systems administration due to an emergency which caused a family move).
Honestly, I have a lot of good experience. I thought I had a good job. I do not make anywhere near what the lowest of those salaries are, and my B.S. is not only in EECE, but I have a lot of analog design experience. Wholy mackerel, where do I sign up for the bottom of the line entry level position at any of those places?
- bitcoinmoney 5y agoYou’re in the wrong company. Move to any semiconductor you’d be at least 180K base with 20 YOE.
- the_only_law 5y agoDoesn’t EE/CE stuff generally cap out lower than software? But anyway I feel you’re experience in regards to salary is going to depend on a number of different things like the market/industry/domain you’re in the market/industry/domain you started or established yourself in, etc.
- readingnews 5y agoSure, but I did not think there was a $50k difference, and that would be me picking a pretty low figure from those graphs. I mean, the median given by the article is literally $60k more than some of the higher paid people I know. And I am not EE/CE in my current role, I teach CS at a uni.

- flyingcircus3 5y agoI would guess that the largest common factor in this survey is a EE/CE degree. After all, that's who joins IEEE.
- the_only_law 5y agoYeah I guess I’m kinda confused. I’m really shocked to see industries like “consumer electronics” at the top, because of how many times I’ve heard of EEs jumping into mundane software roles because the pay is so much higher.
- mbrodersen 5y agoHere is a tip: get a better job. It is not unusual to get a 20% salary increase by simply jumping ship.
