[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Engineer. Work for a small dod contractor. $110k after 10 years experience. Started at $60k. I could get more but it would be way more stressful and more hours and travel. I have great balance. Leave at 4:30 every day, bosses like me, work is project based and not stupid face time based. Before baby I worked on multiple projects and traveled more and made overtime. Riding that goodwill now for the first 2 years of her life and then will ramp up again. Everyone has kids at our company, everyone understands parenting demands and ebb and flow. If there is a crunch, I will pitch in and get stuff done, but we all try to be more efficient to begin with.

What kinds of engineers have balance? And income ?  [/quote]

In my case it's dod and its not hands on stuff most of the time.  design and programming and requirements, testing support, and document review etc. places like APL, MItre, NRL and others. In fact we are hiring. We need like 6-8 more software/electrical engineers in the next quarter. Managers make $150k and upper management more but they hustle and get new contracts etc. [/quote]
