I'm making the change from being an electrical engineer at an aerospace company in Fort Worth to an integration /controls engineering position at Bright Machines in Austin. They have asked me to come up with numbers for salary, and equity. What is a good TC for a controls engineer with 0yoe in Austin?

Not sure if you’re a visa candidate but you can see recent H1B filings by a company on h1bdata.info Now even if you don’t need a visa, you should know the law dictates that H1B employees get paid the prevailing wages. This should atleast get you a decent estimate based on the title on the filings. Also of course look at Glassdoor. And no do not expect 350k in Austin for 0 YOE. Also how do you have 0 YOE if you’re currently working in DFW? Here’s a link to their H1B filings in Austin https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=Bright+Machines&job=&city=Austin&year=All+Years
Thanks for the links! Great resource! I practically have 0yoe because the industry is so different. I have 2yoe in aircraft interiors but that doesn't apply to making factories.
Do you think the H1B data might be skewed to the higher end since most H1B recepiants have an advanced degree?
make them give the first number. your post makes me think you’re going to lowball yourself
Yeah that's what I'm worried about 😬
70-90K
You had me in the title not gonna lie
