Is that reasonable? 2.8k? that is what some retrenched engineers(ie experienced) are asking. even at good times, a fresh grad is getting 2.5-2.6k. at present time, lower expectations by 25-30%.

DIn know an engineer paid so low On 2nd thoughts, I remember my friend who is an electronic engineer with ST Electronics and he told me that their senior engineer only paid 3K also. yes, engineer pay not high. unless u in construction or oil&gas, a engineer with 5 years experience should be getting 4k+, but the liability high, have to sign papers and if anything go wrong, the first question is "who the engineer" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
