While..We Are On The Salary Topic.. How Much Do You Engineers Make?

[slow&rusty]

My salary jumped about $5K per year when I got my PE, but this was 10years ago. Now-a-days it gives you lots of credibility and opportunities with potential employers.

I recommend taking the EIT exam the last semester you're in school. Otherwise you'll probably put it off and then have to study more than if you'd taken it earlier.

BSEE in Electrical Engineering.
MBA in Finance.
19 years since BSEE.
Manage a team of engineers in wireless industry and have done some international and domestic consulting.

Not to be to exact but making over $150K (and *****ing I am underpaid for the strategic leadership I provide and the money I save the company); but I do work 50 hour weeks or more. Good thing I like my job because it does not feel like work but more as a fun challenge...

Never took the EIT since I started in aerospace and I was already designing state of the art telemetry, encryption units, command destruct systems, etc....

Most of my friends in other industries seem to make more: Entertainment VPs over $250K. Pharmacutical over $300K for regional VP roll, and ~$180K for a PR director.
