Comment from : @PatricioBonostro-he6mw

Definitely do NOT ask for a pay match from your current employer They will look to replace you quickly
Comment from : @blabla903

Really depends on the market, city (location), year and what you actually do: residential, utilities, mining, etc But thanks for the numbers!
Comment from : @alanwelson7705

Is there an e-mail I can reach out to you I have a MSEE and planning to get PE soon Thanks
Comment from : @followyourheart2310

So refreshing to see this Nowadays when you look up engineering advice it’s mostly “software engineering” this and that, some mechanical here and there but rarely electrical engineering
Comment from : @lsjmartin6220

Wow I’m making what he did in 2005 in 2024 as an entry level engineer…

Comment from : @patrickacosta3775

Pls hw do you make all these companies know you
Comment from : @michaelemeka8913

as a fellow Asian and NA ee grad, I love listening to other engineers talk trash about Finance people 😂 they are most conniving type of planners, as in they are trained to only think about short term gains
Comment from : @kubyoindiya3269

heyy im attending UCLA for my third year for EE! I am going to keep my GPA above 35 to guarantee masters program at UCLA Thanks for helping pave the road!
Comment from : @kingvirginiaverg7528

This is exactly what I do and advise other engineers to do as well

When switch companies for higher pay How often until it becomes suspicious or even a red flag?

Comment from : @musharrafkazi8189

Change jobs early in your career, to ramp-up your experience and salary on the front end of your career Beware though, stacked resumes of job hoppers are the mark of people who steal credit and dodge responsibility Some people make careers out of stealing technology and job hopping, exploiting their personal library of stolen technology to get ever-better jobs But at some point in mid-career, be looking to level up with a big promotion This will probably require changing companies, because the top jobs in companies are filled from the outside, because internal promotions would be political hot potatoes At some critical point, stick with a company to vest in their retirement financial and health benefits There is no point in staying in the rat race any longer than really needed Whatever you do, don't ever "retire", just change careers and re-invent yourself to improve your lifestyle "Retiring" is a useless concept Leisure activity makes no sense without work to motivate you for it
Comment from : @mobydick3895

As a person who never has nor likely ever will pay for college I’ve never felt so uncomfortable reading a comment section I’m also an electrician paid 60k/yr…it’s very hard on my body, long hours, unwanted travel……it’s almost fascinating how high in sky you are from here…
Comment from : @geigercourtier

Great video In general I would never recommend anyone take a "matching" offer from an existing employer to keep someone from leaving Once you accept, now there's an expectation for you to over-perform and work tons of hours It never works out in my experience and in talking to many of my peers
Comment from : @BubbleheadDiver

As long as I can make 6 figures out of school I’m happy 😂
Comment from : @12degreesnowman11

Agreed The only way to get a good pay bump is to jump ship My current company is hemorrhaging engineers daily SO many people are leaving, including myself It feels good
Comment from : @hankmoody5514

Definitely Me in 10 years
Comment from : @BGTech1

Thanks for sharing all of this information We are the same generation as I graduated in 2003 Bachelor's degree brI just got a job as an electrical engineer for Pickering nuclear power plant in Ontario CA After finishing mine over 19 years of designing nuclear power plant experience in China I think it's lucky to get a salary of over CAD$ 8k per month 😂
Comment from : @bryanz5904

Great video recapping your journey with great info
Comment from : @snorgisborg2

Hello sir Great video Kindly tell how are things in the electrical power engineering ? Am I just working towards a dead end or does it have any good carreer opportunities either good pay in the USA brLooking forward to your reply Thank you so much
Comment from : @midnightmadness1714

Wow, I'm having a similar situation to what has been mentioned at around 11:21 of this video I have no idea how to properly explain to my manager that I can't show my skills or get more work done because I they give me this other thing to do which is a full time job in itself and this thing is not even included in the performance review at the end of the year! This video is very helpful!
Comment from : @ziyuetong

Bro why u farting
Comment from : @thematrixoutlier

At my current job, the company doesn't care about you, they won't give you a raise, they'll just let you go to the new job
Comment from : @Native722

Thanks for sharing I'll list my salaries too And good for you guys, you all did better than me I lost hope and faith and gave up after 15 years of job hunting while unemployed, and still unemployed today I guess not everyone can get a job in their chosen field I wonder what the true statistics arebrbrGraduated in 1994 with an EE degree, couldn't get EE job interviews but I was able to find two jobs, first a maintenance job and after that an electronic technician bench repair job I don't remember the exact wages, something like $8-9 an hour and $11-12 an hour It took me four years, to finally get hired as an EE in 1998 designing electrical power transformers, for $32K But it was more like assembly line work just plugging in numbers in a spreadsheet (No electronics just wires wrapped around iron cores) Their business slowed and 3 1/2 years later in 2001 I was laid off, with a salary of 40K Never could get an interview after this so my degree and short career just rotted away Employers for manufacturing jobs told me I'm overqualified and employers for engineering jobs told me I'm underqualified for EE and electronic technician jobs
Comment from : @KeithHuntsman-TaFl

Heck I worked for a Korean Auto Manufacturing company I didn’t get a raise for 4 years They offered $2500 bonuses instead It was a slap in the face
Comment from : @Hummer999xx

I'm a hard worker with good grades finishing my 3rd year of Electrical Engineering at Canadian uni with co-op program I am on the fence about masters since I'd rather just work and buff up my resume instead, I also hear some companies will pay for your masters, any advice?
Comment from : @sillygoosechinachina

I graduated in 2020 during the the start of the pandemonic, and now after 15 years trying to find a job is so hard, since i don't have much experience ; the most funny thing is that even interns required some experienced from pervious internship SMH
Comment from : @andychen882

I have a project I was wondering if I can get your help on Trying to make a 60v cordless microwave and need to know if its possible and if so can you help me figure out how Thank u
Comment from : @randyrobasser9635

I've seen my share of those projects managers who automatically become engineers when it can boost their ego lol
Comment from : @lamamesui510

Definitely can relate to feeling desperate I graduated a few years ago in a different field than yours making barely above minimum wage in the Bay at around $22 and jumped to $115k five months later
Comment from : @missalicesmiles

I really wish I had the time to go back to school and pursue this career to better my family
Comment from : @Eagles30

If I get an Electrical degree can I be an Electronic Engineer
Comment from : @darkswords147

I have a MSEE from one of the top state universities too Unfortunately, I work in the Fab and there are not many jobsbrYou are right about the raise It is no good if I stay in the same company brI used to spend too much money on useless things Now, I save money as much as possible and invest in the marketbrI hope I will join you soon to retire comfortablybrbrBTW, I wish I had computer science degree I love programming and FAANG pays much better than MSEE
Comment from : @ec188

I'm 25 yrs old and I'm an electrician would it be to late to start studying for an electrical engineering degree while I'm working as electrician
Comment from : @isaacmiranda3338

What type of Electrical Engineer were you? Any advice if I want to become a Firmware Engineer or Embedded Systems Engineer?
Comment from : @torrance1175

I been so interested in the kind of field work hopefully things turn out alright for me wish me luck 🙏
Comment from : @benjamincalderon9622

I’m an EE graduate with a position paying around what you made at your first job without inflation Any advice on how to obtain an increase in salary, and overall enhance my resume?
Comment from : @Snipingbentleys

Started on USD 100k in 2014, now earning USD 85k Consistent pay rises, but home currency depreciation!!!
Comment from : @georgec2894

So all of these jobs were in California?
Comment from : @reasonablecomments2538

Do you think a electrical engineering technician associate degree is worth pursuing?
Comment from : @Shaney_

@BeatTheBush LOL, wut? I got to switch jobs! I started exactly the same year as you with the same MSEE degree at $62K per year The difference I stayed 6 yrs at the first company, In my second company now about 10yrs, I make way less than you Great Video!
Comment from : @citizenof_theworld881

This is true and is a good tip if you job is demanding like his, but normal people who have regular jobs, changing jobs every 2-3 yrs may raise a red flag in hr’s perception Also kind of makes your resume look like you have patterns for not staying at one place more than a couple of yrs
Comment from : @Sucrosefanatic

Thx for your information
Comment from : @mrraven9790

Private Equity is evil They come into every company - lard them with debt - take their payout fees, and exit and if the company dies they die They dont care They are off onto the next company while they killed the last company or larded it with so much debt and fees that it is feeble It's sad PE exists They are vultures who only exist for themselves
Comment from : @thisguy73

Hey BTB, I saw in the comments that you worked with microcontroller programming and in one of the tables you showed, it looks like you worked in consumer electronics for quite some time Do you have any tips/advice for developing skills to become better at writing firmware and such? I'm not an EE majorI've been working an embedded software engineer for about 8 months now and my background is really more on the programming side
Comment from : @ClassyJohn

This is a very valuable video, thank you for making this! I have a question: if I apply for other jobs right and somehow get an offer that's higher than what i currently make, aren't there consequences to showing my manager this and nudging them for a raise? Now, they would know that I'm looking for other jobs so wouldn't I be the first to get fired/laid off, especially if I'm not a top performer?
Comment from : @ClassyJohn

Haha he knows Graham respects guys in STEM careers

i bet your smart as hell!! not easy to get masters in EE EE are already smart before they become EE
Comment from : @turnbullac6315

Nice I have a bachelors in EE, 35 years of experience, second job after school making 100k in AZ, started at 69k
Comment from : @V3RM1LI0N

Thanks for breaking it all down and explaining your salary! I’m an electrical engineering student and was wondering what the salary would look like down the road
Comment from : @ianp7383

You forget kissing butt with the management to get the good raises Cronyism trumps hard work
Comment from : @nyhsmark9250

This was a good video!
Comment from : @dhowto3005

What's your take on getting a masters as an EE straight from college? Is it worth it if the company is paying for it? or Is it better to get the experience from just working?
Comment from : @resiqualia4601

Are these all jobs in a large capital city though?
Comment from : @Consul99

I subscribed to you in my first year of Uni and now I'm graduating as an electrical engineer lmao
Comment from : @Consul99

love this type of content and agree with everything you said here after working as process engineer for 10 years
Comment from : @Timothy-yd3ph

thanks for the vid of your experiences i can feel your experiences as they happen in many industries Because your now in a better position you dont need the aggravation , and can just relax without all that , it just doesnt give you inner peace working in these companies
Comment from : @arobbo3153

why didn't you work for Facebook or apple
Comment from : @thefrenchwolfe6809

Great advice, I've found if you broach the subject of expecting more than a 3 raise a few weeks before the review process is finalized you have a good chance of getting a bigger raise There's definitely a cap on how much they'll give you unless you have offers from other companies
Comment from : @cooneyshawn

Did you ever feel like an imposter in some of your jobs? Can you do a video on how you prepared for interviews etc?
Comment from : @Spacemonkeymojo

i'm a senior engineer myself and my salary is pretty stagnant the last 2 years I'm at 120 but I am thinking long term My cousin who is 8 years younger is a firefighter prob makes 50-60k In 10 years, he will be making 6 figures easily with a pension fund building I don't think I am ready for an architect role Ageism is a thing I worry about in IT

Comment from : @PlaylistWatching1234

I didn't jump aroundstupidly stayed with the same co for 22 years! Fortunately I was able to promote myself to Sr Relaxation Mgr last yr due to going all in on $TSLA
Comment from : @jokedog

Thanks for being transparentnow you need to tell us who your godfather isthe one that gave you $ for your tesla 😀
Comment from : @jokedog

You are definitely right, the only way to get real raises is to switch jobs On the other side, you don’t want to switch job too much so people think you jump around all the time I started my first job as an architect at 40k, after 10yrs I’m finally at 6 figures Thanks to recent hot job market
Comment from : @corgipingpong2542

Unless you are getting well compensated in a highly successful company, you have to switch jobs periodically as a survival skill
Comment from : @JM-gz1ej

Comment from : @allandonald6115

After doing some research study, our team made a decision to pick AOM given that our team could say to through the good reviews that they were a business that definitely appreciated their clients as well as our company were certainly not discouraged! Our GMB webpage got positioned within a week and our team observed a rise in leads soon after!
Comment from : @bigtimebecks

The unneeded stress to get a pay increase of 20 20k/ 40K? Getting too old for that Leverage your net worth and earn that amount in dividend Let the returns 3X your regular income Meditate and do anything your heart desires
Comment from : @Bran08Eman

How much did you spend on school?
Comment from : @thetommantom

After performing some study, our experts decided to go with AOM due to the fact that we might say to due to the beneficial testimonials that they were a business that truly loved their consumers and also our experts were certainly not frustrated! Our GMB web page obtained rated within a week as well as our team saw a boost in leads shortly after!
