Stress engineer in the US
Stress engineer in the US
(OP)
Hi,
I have a question for aircraft engineers, but it's not question about analysis this time.
I am new in this country (US) and I just applied to a job. I have an interview this week. The job fits perfectly with my work experience. It is a position of a stress engineer on aircraft nacelle.
I have 2 years and a half of experience as a stress/aeropsace engineer.
The big problem is that I really dont know what salary I should expect. The salary in my original country was too low compare to here, so I cant compare it.
I have been looking on payscale and it gives me a annual salary of a range between 70,000$ and 90,000 a year for my profile.
What do you think? Could you please give me range of salary?
I dont really want an exact response, because it depends on a lot of parameters.
I would really appreciate any advice from US aircraft engineers, a quick range of salary for a 2-3 years experienced stress engineer on commercial aircraft, does anyone have an idea?
60s, 70s, 80s, 90s?
what salary I should NOT accept (because it would be too low)?
Thanks a lot,
Ben

RE: Stress engineer in the US
for me 80/90 for 2+ years is pretty darn good ... i'd've though 50/60 might be nearer the mark ... just my 1c ...

RE: Stress engineer in the US
The companes I spoke to requested that I identify my "required" salary. I wonder if that is standard now? Maybe those who've sat on the other side of the table can suggest the appropriate response, I'm not sure I figured it out.
This is for average cost of living areas with a bachelor's degree and no further certification. SoCal or the like should be somewhat higher. If you haven't already, check out glassdoor.com for region and company specific info.
Good luck with your interview.
RE: Stress engineer in the US
Your info were really helpful, we just talked about a range which was what everybody proposed here. If they choose me we will be discussing salary. Hope I am gonna have an offer.
And rb1957, I dont want to look like i'm licking some ass, but I like all your posts, you're the Man here.
Cheers everybody

Cracked me up, but I wouldn't suggest makeing that slip-up in polite company.
But then, maybe they do things different where you're from.
