It is beginning to feel like 1996

Where I work, your average engineer probably makes just under $100k. The senior positions are pushing around $100-115k, with a few high end people in the $130k range.

Even if it’s not at the level the OP was stating, that’s still a very nice income especially for a working couple.

As SDR said, a lot of people don’t realize how much money is out there. I’m still blown away by some of the war chests people I know are throwing around, and some at such young ages. A lot of people are beyond broke, or barely getting by but there are also a lot of people out there with massive amounts of cash.

I’d also like to debunk the myth of all these high-earning “dual-engineering” couples. In 15 years of engineering I can only recall 2 people who were married to another engineer. Look no further than the enrollment of engineering schools which are 90% male, and you will see it’s pretty unlikely for there to be many straight eng/eng couples.

Plenty of other professions where you can make 100K+ in science, medicine, law, etc, and not have to marry your lab partner from engineering school.

Off the cuff, I’d say that 30% of the male engineers at my company are married to someone in a technical field, maybe a little higher among the 30-50 crowd. We actually have a lot of couples working here. A lot of the female engineers make full use of part-timing options to have kids while still pulling in decent income.

Average salary around $100k seems credible, with senior PhD types in the $120-140k range. I’m five years post-PhD and making ~100k.
