[quote=deadzone]Once again, I’m asking if anybody here currently makes 175K base salary for a corporate engineering position in a purely technical role (i.e. no management or supervisory responsibility).

I’m not suggesting this is impossible, but I do believe that is an uncommonly high salary for San Diego at least. I would be interested in a tangible example of this if there is anybody on this board. I do not need to see your pay stub, I will believe you.[/quote]
No one will tell you how much they’re getting paid. But I did give you plenty of data points.
