Good morning
Does anyone know , in this economy, what a good salary is for an Engineer?
I know Glassdoor has some medians, but they do not actually match the current economy. I believe they are too low, unless these are the new medians and we must figure out a way to live with the new lows?

Figuring out to live with the new lows might be a thing, at least in the near term. There's been some reporting about how the weakening job market has been pushing offers and salaries downward. That's just a function of supply and demand. A lot of people are looking for work, and people will accept lower offers as that's better than long-term unemployment.

Thank you for your feedback here, I was thinking about that, just didn't want to believe it I guess!!!

Depends on location, field, industry, responsibilities, etc. Some states require a posted range which can be used as a guide with additional work of comparing cost of living to your location. Good luck and remember that having an enjoyable job is worth a lot at the end of the day.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload.

It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
