Public or private? Do you manage anyone? What’s pre-PE salary?

like

Somewhere between 110 to 125k

In an identical situation and I’m actively looking at new jobs in Texas most I’ve seen around Houston is about 110k

I'm a Traffic Engineer in the DFW area with around 8 years technical experience and have had my PE about 3 years now.

I manage approximately 2-3 employees but have been the point of contact for training 3-4 employees in different offices.

I get paid a base salary of $89k.

From what it looks like, the industry is in a major growth period in Texas and I have been getting 6 figure offers from recruiters for upper management positions Senior PM or Director type levels. Can anyone confirm 6 figures is what they are currently paid with similar experience?
