Hey Folks. I hope I am posting in the right space about this. Anyone knows the updated(2022) compensation range for QA Automation Engineers with 2 years experience?
A general range at Glassdoor has an average base pay at 110K/year shorturl.at/dhuIZ and I am looking for more sources. Cheers

Can you get 2 jobs that are 20-30 hours? That'd give you even more money than the one 50 hour job
But you're young, you can stick it out at the 50 hour job for a year or so and save as much as you can, then if it's too taxing on your health, you can go someplace that's more conducive to your lifestyle
Edit: don't forget to factor in commuting costs and buying coffee, lunches, etc, when you evaluate the office job. That'll reduce the extra pay to less than 50%
Never sacrifice your health. Other than that, what are your priorities? If you can stay healthy, is it time away from work, or affording a lifestyle that is maybe more fun?
You’re young. Take the challenging job and put in the leg work now. That will lead to an easy 20-30 hour a week job down that road that also pays well.
I learned it as a take on diversification; invest in your human capital when your young and change your allocation as you get older. Or in other words purely from a ~5 year to FIRE or SAHM view, go all in on career growth now in my opinion. You can take your foot off the gas later, or reevaluate because from 27 to 32 weirdly you might find plenty of changes in your life, perspective, and goals.
Where I exactly are these high paying 20-30 hr a week jobs? Not being rude seriously asking. I’m so burned out from my stressful 50+hr job but I see absolutely no part time b4 jobs posted. I feel like a 🦄 hunter searching.
Depends on what you do and how you work. I can do things in 20 hours it takes my teammates 30-40 hours to do because I’m more experienced with the software my teams jobs revolve around. For me I’ve found the older I get the faster I get things done. You get operating procedures and experience. That’s part of it. I’ve also seen a lot of higher up jobs where people just did calls and “managed teams” but in reality didn’t do much of anything. Common denominator with these jobs is they’re for experienced people and people that offer specific skills / experiences that are critical so no one is ever going to care about your hours going light (which becomes a problem for non critical positions). Get experience and expertise and grow your skill set and when you get older you’ll have a lot of options. But you have to put the work in now to enjoy it later.

How severe are the health concerns, and are you right now a mom? It sounds like the higher paying job helps your goal of ultimately having better WLB in the long run, but then again if your health will be jeopardized or you have children now you will be spending less time with them. Seems like a long term vs short term plan. Nothing can replace your health and quality time with family. Just some points to put out there -- you know your situation best and hopefully this provides more clarity.
Nice! Thank you!
As an immunocompromised individual I would get two part time jobs with a higher salary than 1 in office job tbh
If your planning to FIRE in 5 years who the hell cares about more experience & challenging career. I can understand if you'd continue to be in the workforce like most normal folks but sounds like you're well off in your current position at 27. I don't understand the dilemma. Sound like rich kid problems to me. Read a book or something. Volunteer. Take up a passion project or do something meaningful with your life. Why stress if you don't have to.
27 year old here: I had pretty much the same challenge half a year ago. I went for the challenging, higher paid hybrid role and I hate it. I hate going to the office and stress makes me sick. I will stick it out for a year and then go back to something more relaxed..
It really depends what type of person you are. Then again, you won’t know until you tried.. you can always look for something else if you don’t like it.
