This varies so much across companies, let alone industries. It was gratifying a few years back to realize that annual revenue per engineer north of $4m put our team in rarified company. I wonder how common it is to examine that metric. While I'm happier (and earning much more) consulting for a deep-pocketed enterprise where enginering and R&D are treated as cost centers, I kind of doubt it's something my current clients have ever even considered.
