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

Hi Guys,
I have been assigned to a Unbillable Project, they are building one app and have recruited people from the talent pool. The project is not registered in GLOW. And they are calling it as Voluntary Contribution type project for studio. Is this what they call Internal Project in Globant?
Will there be any impact if I don't perform as per their expectations?
Will it be of any benefit to me if work in voluntary project? Will HR recognize this project contribution as valid work?

SM promotion around year 6/7. Went from $145k to $195k or something overnight and immediately felt worth it.

Amazing
For me, about four years. That was when I left public for industry. Went from 60+ hour weeks most of the year to 40ish fully remote. Within a year of leaving public, my salary had increased 30%. I’m still not rich, but have great work life balance and meaningful work, which makes it “worth it” to me.

I’m happy for you

Nearly 20 years in and have felt overworked and underpaid the entire time. I'm still searching for that unicorn role that pays well and has an actual WLB.

I hope you find it
Immediately. I took time off from college and was making $11/hr + OT in a chemicals warehouse doing 50-60hrs a week rain wind snow or 100 degree weather. Exposure to noxious chemicals and wrecking my body in the process. You “made it“ there if you operated a fork making $15. Making 50K to sit in AC or heat is easy in comparison. Now have over doubled my salary since starting. Perspective is everything.
Never felt worth it and never felt motivated in this field bc the pay isn’t great. After three years realized I’d be happier elsewhere and went to grad school to start over in a field that’s a tad more interesting where the pay is 3x at every level
Pivoting to law. Would not recommend for the vast majority, but I was in a rare situation where I had set myself up well through investments, frugal living, full scholarships throughout my entire academic career, side hustles. I had a lot of passive income, free housing, and a full scholarship to a top school. Also have always enjoyed school more than work and mine is chill enough bc of its rank that u can kind of turn the last two years into a break (very much like an MBA program lol)
If I could go back in time, I would’ve majored in CS or just gone into a biz role in tech, or worst case scenario do finance, but I had no idea what I was doing at that age
5 years. Went from $50K to $130K.
Yup, same exact thing happened to me
Haven’t felt it yet. I get paid $220k 8 years in. I have no life no matter how I try to set boundaries and nothing is ever good enough for leadership. I’m actively looking for a new role.
I’m in the same boat. 225K base 10 years in but there’s no WLB and the staff/seniors are so demotivated and don’t care
A little over 15 years for me. Started as a staff at $50k. After 15 years, on cusp of making partner, director comp > $300k & rapidly rising.
What is the cap for director? That seems like a super long time to make partner when comparing to other industries. Has WLB been bad all 15 years/are you in PA? If so the 300k still seems underpaid
Probably around the 8 year mark

Not horrible definitely an investment
Still don't and I'm 12 yrs in. All my tech friends dwarf me in comp

Jeez, the tech industry is just wild
7-8 years I’d say

Seems to be the average answer
First year.
6 years in and feel wildly underpaid in tax. Like 30-40k under market (I know this from talking to recruiters)
110k base 4.5 years in, will be ~130k base 5 years in.
Still feel underpaid but every year I have felt slightly less underpaid. Maybe eventually it will seem fair if the trend continues.
Never. I’ve been in corporate accounting for 20+ years. We closed the books today. I got home late, wife mad at me for working too much, too much caffeine and haven’t been able to relax yet. I have been going non stop for a few years, large growth in the company, time to ask for a raise.
