    I’m a level 2 Engineer and I make close to what you’re making TC. Hopefully maybe more come next year. And I don’t work for the big 5. I work for a hospital group. Seniors make well close to double that in TC. Principals make slightly more.

    Also there are more jobs for higher levels than in non tech hubs. Career wise you’ll probably be making more complex systems too.

    You have it good for sure, but you’re the outlier my guy.

      I know that, I was just refuting the claim that “your not going to make that kind of money in a flyover state”, it is possible, and you don’t have to work the big 5 here either, and the cost of living is way less.
