I’ve been awaiting the ME salaries on levels.fyi. It hit the target number to “unlock” about 2 weeks ago. Anyone have any idea when it might be available? #hardware
There's another thread discussing this. We're all still waiting...
No one really cares about ME’s
Lol this is true
Just divide software salary by 10 to arrive at ME salary
Well said.. it is true
Peanuts if working outside of tech industry, something reasonable if you’re in tech. Actually good if you’re at FAAG with a PhD with some experience (can be $300k+). I’m ME, 240k TC in OR.
At what YOE?
Never heard any ME in tech getting paid well or "decent".
I'd love to know too, OP - my daughter is an aerospace engineer - ME bachelor's degree / AE master's degree. She's at about $130K base pay at Lockheed Martin, not including annual bonus, three years out of school.
Its fake.. i don’t believe that either... go to h1b data and search for ME with > 150 base salary .. over the last 10 years there are like 50 of these folks.. thats it!!
you don't go to work in aerospace or Lockheed for the money, that's for sure.
It’s up: https://www.levels.fyi/comp.html?track=Mechanical%20Engineer
Some FAANG mechies report making as much as SWE, why do I find that hard to believe!? 🤔 Tell me I'm wrong.
Wrong. ME/EE/etc can follow similar or slightly lower pay band as SWEs at these companies.
You’re wrong. Catch is among companies paying like that it takes more YOE to get that senior title in hardware than it does as a SWE. Example, I’ve never bothered applying at Apple because even ICT5 wouldn’t be a worthwhile raise.
ME here making 170k in Sacramento with 7 YOE
That’s equivalent to 75-80k in midwest. So no big thing. SWE are making 120k sometimes as freshers.
