What kind of engineering TC are non-managers getting in LCOL areas like MI, IN, OH? TC 190k > 15 yoe
$120k to probably $140k.
It’s a very good family salary as well.
Most places will be around 100-150k. Midwest, specifically Chicago, has trading firms which can pay anywhere from 350-700k. But they are harder to crack.
You’d be looking at anywhere from 70-180k+ (new grad to an experienced contractor). There are some companies (like Amazon and a few other tech companies) which are offering west coast salaries in some LCOL midwest cities (not remote) like the one I live in 🙂. That said, you can also get a remote job too.
Why do they call it the Midwest if it’s not the west coast?
