I did BME undergrad and there were 0 entry level jobs. This was in 2015. Ended up working at JPM as a systems engineer 🤷‍♂️

Back in 2010, at the height of the recession, a college friend of mine nabbed a BME job about 6 - 8 months after graduation.

Not sure how much the market has changed, but sure it can still be done.

This was a decade ago so times may have changed, but back then I wouldn’t have recommended. The grads I knew had a harder time finding entry level engineering job compared to other types of engineers

I have a friend who did BME and is now a Sr. Mgr at ACN... similar story but a mentor and she’s a partner at EY (she was a partner at ACN first).

Most BME majors I know haven't really gone into BME ironically

Many end up in med school

My friend who complete her Masters in Biomedical in 2018 got a job in 2019.

Also I did my Bachelors in Biomedical and worked in IT and then did MS in IT.

I also did BME undergrad and the job market was meh. That being said, BMEs in my school had no issues findings jobs in consulting, PM, etc.

4 YOE in Federal consulting. Currently a C at $85K and just received a 5/5 performance review with super positive feedback from my team and leadership. Noted that I was the top performer and was doing stuff at a senior level.

How realistic would it be to break $100K+ in jumping elsewhere? Either at C/SC level. Might be a silly question but I want see others perspective. TIA!

Hi Fishes,

My tech is .net application support and yoe is 5. What is the percentage hike that I can expect on the basis of my skill.

I have seen people commenting like your expectation should be YOE * 3 (This is just an example I am referring from another post and this has been not told to me)

As per the above logic, what should be my expectations as per the current market standard. Any suggestions will be helpful

TIA
