Reply to comment by Bandsohard in The average Aerospace salary is between $70k and $160k per year, based on salary reports of more than 500 aerospace professionals by Siglave

Yeah that’s what I did essentially, 5 years out making 130k plus a 5-7k bonus. Didn’t job hop as much but leveraged some good situations with counter offers.

If you’re just putzing around and taking the meager 3% raises every year you’re just playing yourself.

It sucks cause there's only one real company I can work for in my city, and my wife doesn't want to leave. I could be making SIGNIFICANTLY more than what I currently do as an aerospace engineer, but because the wife won't leave her parents, I cant.

Lol... She's the one who makes the good financial decisions, like buying the house we're in now with an 1100 mortgage including taxes and insurance.
