$50K for someone with 8 years of experience? Is this supposed to be a normal range? I can't believe that the career path I'm treading is going to look this bleak in the future. What do others think? Is this fair compensation? What are you making if you've worked as an ME for over 5 years?

I'd think the salary should be around 2x that. Maybe more?

That salary is absolutely ridiculous. Our mail room staff make more than that and their scope of work flow, experience, and certification(s)/Licensure is abysmal compared to an enengineer....

I am currently a Senior Consultant in KPMG Australia’s human capital advisory function - however I have been recently offered a role with Accenture Australia’s human capital advisory function as an ‘Associate Manager’ with a 15K salary bump and an enticing bonus structure - with some very cool clients that they mentioned to me in their interview round. The issue is, my KPMG Partner has mentioned that I *may* be up for promotion nxt July. I am so stuck, not sure whether to take it or not.
