[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that good or bad? Seems like a whole lot of nothing. [/quote]

It’s a better package than most engineering majors get fresh out of college. When you factor in overtime it’s not even close.[/quote]

I'm and engineer and my H is a moco cop. I always made significantly more and cops work tons of overtime and still make little to no money.

It's a calling just like teaching. You can't expect to make ends meet on this salary.

Imagine working 60 hours a week to make $100K. Jeez. [/quote]

I'm confused about your post and your grammar.

You are an engineer and your husband is a Montgomery County police officer.

Then you said you always made more, that's past tense. Do you not make more now? Is he no longer your husband?

I agree it's a calling, but your compensation number seems very low. Below is the Montgomery County police pay schedule for last year. How many years has your husband been a police officer?

Montgomery Police work 4 shifts per week, 10 hours per shift. At 60 hours worked per week it would be easy to make over $100,000.

The starting salary in 2025 for a new officer is listed as $70,056. That's $33.68 per hour. The 20 hours of overtime a week you mentioned would be an additional $36,799 per year.

A Montgomery County Police Officer III with 12 years experience makes $103,924 in salary alone based on the 2024 schedule linked above. With 20 hours of overtime a week their total compensation would be $181,867.
