Sounds like you and I work for the same company. I started in consulting in 2007. I switched jobs last May and I make more than double what I did out of college, which at the time was pretty competitive.

I'm not EE but work with them in Petrochem. Can someone confirm the general classification at my work that EE is the most volatile of the engineering disciplines? It seems to have high contractor and turnover rates compared to the others. Why is that?
Are they getting canned or leaving on their own? May be switching companies for better compensation?

Just to confirm the numbers here.
My base is $119k. Variable comp this year is $17k. Add $2.5k bonus for completing a special project. My W2 is $138k. I have been in the same job for a decade and a half. I've never had a direct report. And I love my job.

The numbers aren't bs....I'm a CM grad working in power in the northeast.....this will be my biggest year ever....130 base with probably 50k in per diem OT and bonuses on top of that...and the cost of living in some parts of PA isn't bad like you'd think
