Salary question

Salary question

Salary question

(OP)
I'd like to know if there's a website i could find out the salary for a full time stress engineer in aviation.

RE: Salary question

www.salary.com

is great for giving ballpark figures.  You can also sort by location as CoL can always play a factor.

RE: Salary question

(OP)
I have tried salary.com, but cant find the specific job title "stress". I wonder if it falls at the same category as structural engineer?

RE: Salary question

Could be structural, could be mechanical, could be aerospace.

Structural may overlap Civil...

RE: Salary question

Aerospace doesn't make a distinction between Engineers.  There may be different specific discipline descriptions for organizational convenience, but it has no bearing on salary level.  It is simply an "Aerospace Engineer" with different levels of experience - all of which are woefully underpaid, by the way.

RE: Salary question

Hmm...www.salary.com doesn't distinguish between licensed and unlicensed civils, only yrs experience.

If their median salary refers to licensed civils, then they are pretty close indeed for Harrisburg, PA.  But I hope no one thinks an unlicensed civil w/ only 4-6 yrs is going to average $74k in Harrisburg, PA in 2005.  It just ain't happenin' folks.

RE: Salary question

In automotive the type of engineer has a relatively small effect on your likely salary, I'd guess the same is true of aerospace, so, in Seattle

level I 54k 0-2
level II 60k 2-4
level III 75k 4-5
level V 103k 8+

Now, there seems to be something rather odd with the years of experience vs level there. The increase in pay vs time looks about right for 0 to 5 years, but their definition of level III must be looser than mine.

In my experience very few engineers are truly level V by 35 years of age, ie 10-12 years of post grad experience.
