Aren't hardware salaries outside California basically shit even in the US?
- trollbridge 2y agoNot that bad. Engineers in "flyover country" where I am seem to easily exceed six figures. My town has, ironically, a formerly British-owned firm (since bought out Berkshire Hathaway) that not only has six-figure engineering jobs, but shop floor jobs that are union and starting pay is $25/hr for unskilled - electrician and so on start higher, $30/hr, and only go up from there. The UK operations are still going, but engineering has largely moved to the U.S. (which is a bit of a puzzle, since apparently engineers in the UK can be had much more cheaply).
- xxpor 2y ago>Engineers in "flyover country" where I am seem to easily exceed six figures. So do brand new software grads
- justin66 2y agoNew "software" grads? Easily? Today? In flyover country? I'm not seeing it. Salaries got a nice bump over the last few years, but hiring has slowed down and new grads are the first to suffer. (and some of what you see when people on forums like this one talk about what they're paid is bullshit, for some reason)
- rcbdev 2y agoYou seem to overestimate the engineering supply in Des Moines.
- justin66 2y agoMaybe? If you're in the area - would it be fair to characterize entry level software development jobs in Des Moines as "easily exceeding six figures?" I took a quick and lazy peek at a job site and I didn't feel like there were enough jobs to even make a judgment. (my filter brought up some Epic Systems jobs with no salary listings and some other stuff that is well below six figures)
