I am not sure on the relative salaries in Australia, but in the UK and Canada, you take a significant pay cut to actually practice real engineering compared to software, banking, or consulting.
- PaulHoule 3y agoA long running story is that engineers have great starting salaries compared to many other fields of study, but they don’t get raises to the extent that people in other fields do. To some extent engineers right out of school are in demand because they are educated in the latest technology and that’s valued more than experience.
