Where are the $100K jobs?

It really depends on the area he is in. Chemical Engineers are generally the highest paid in the profession. It used to be that vacume engineers were paid a lot, but now they have fallen down the engineering earning list some.

Here in Silicon Valley, sofware, EECS, and EE’s, make a great deal due to demand with folks with that kind of experience making well above what he was asking for. But I don’t know the SD levels.

What field is he in? 15 years of experience means a lot for a company that don’t have many qualified engineers but for a company that have many experienced engineers they can easily hired a kid out of college for $55K or someone with some experience for around $65-$80K.

Most companies have a range that they are willing to pay. My company pays senior engineers around $75K to $105K. I think $120K is near Manager level salary for most companies. Boeing, Lockeed, Northrop, Raytheon and other aerospace companies pay a lot more (15% to 30% more) but it is also hard to get in.

I would agree. I am not sure about the profession your husband is in. I am familiar with EECS salaries as well and personally fall into the 18 years of experience range and see that ASIC designers/managers with 15-20 years experience get offered between 120-150k depending on the needs of the company.

I don’t think you can understand the job market based on a single occurrence like that. As a hiring manager I can assure you there are billions of reasons why a person with an ideally matching resume would not be hired, and the salary he or she is asking is just one of them.
Maybe your husband was overqualified. Maybe he didn’t answer a key question during the interview. Maybe they are behind on affirmative action compliance. Or maybe a decision-making person in that company is an idiot.
