AI? Google?

Not google, but they pay quite well too.

Do you have a PhD in computer science, or something like that? I want to try and find a way to make something more lucrative to help out my family. I quote a quote for the dream and I'm doing a job my 12-year-old self would love but at the end the day there have been compromises to doing that and I'm trying to leverage up now and get the lowdown another tech I might be able to transition to. Though AI takes so much brainpower I'm probably out of my league here

(Siriism-- I was saying I had a "dream jobs" -- I work as NASA.)

I dropped out of phd to do it, but yea I was on my way.

If you work for NASA - is it in an engineering role? - why not perhaps parlay that to camera optics, drone hardware, etc?

working for Amazon for drones? Yeah that would be in my wheelhouse. Would the lay be THAT much better?!

Well no clue what you make now, but standard packages for engineers are in the $300s, more for those with relevant experience of course. Absent any real data on what you do, what level you are etc, id share that most of my friends there are in mid $500s between cash and equity.

I'm an engineer for NASA on the GS scale (Gs14) so those are amazing numbers. System engineer, operations, attitude control for various missions. I will have to serge indeed for drone work it sounds like...

2 non doctors/ lawyers here, early 30s, strategy consulting and finance. HHI of $380K before bonuses/equity, which add on $200-$400K depending on the year.

Two attorneys, one government and one Biglaw, 485.

really depends on the specialty. a pediatrician can make 100k. obgyn 250k. anesthesiologist may earn 300k. radiologist 400k. neurosurgeon 800k. spine surgeons can make 1+ million.

Not always. Especially if you are a staff dr at a hospital. My friend is a neurosurgeon at Children's and makes 150k. Big busck only for business owners.

I find the 150k for a neurosurgeon very hard to believe. Either that person is super brand new or in a fellowship of some sort. Even the Feds pay MD specialists between 150-300k, and they often moonlight elsewhere too.

I'm a PhD in a health field and make 140k, and dh is a gs-14 in an Econ/finance role which is 116k.

We have a ton of engineers at our research-driven tech company (Fortune 100). Our engineers make no where near that. Top ones maybe make in the 300's. Most make around the upper 100s. Now, they start off high - no less than 80 right out of school.

And that's why we outsource to India for $50k a year for experienced talent.

I don't know a single engineer making 300k. I know many engineers that make 120-180k.

I know several but all in Silicon Valley. And they still can't afford to buy a house there.

Haha that dude is on something that i like. It must be very strong like something they smoke in Colorado.
Dude i work in hr for northrop grumman for a large defense project. There are some genious engineers here with top secret tsi and they barely scrape 200k. Even some of our top subs make $110 per hour bill rate. You are truly delusional if you think that most engineers make 300k. Now those that own businesses do but not individual engineers

PP suggested he works at a big tech company like Google or Facebook -- wouldn't a senior engineer/architect pull down that kind of salary? or would that only be in silicon valley (where $300k is more like $150k here).

[Anonymous]

Just look at glassdoor salaries its not hard. Managers in those firms make 300k. Vast majority of engineers make sub 100k. You guys need a reality check

[Anonymous]

Engineers in this area don't typically make more than about 130 to 150k tops. If you are a lead scientist or something like that you'll have room to make more. But that requires PHD, demonstrated leadership experience, and dedication to continued education. You are expected to guide the direction of a large division or the whole company if it's a small to medium sized shop.

The story is different if the engineer is a part owner in a company - but then you are no longer just an engineer but a business owner.

I can state quite definitively that Amazon is not paying its engineers nearly $300K.
