I have 13 years in IT experience (software devlopment, database management), Bachelors in Information Technology, AWS certified developer, Python certified (PCAP). I have experience developing in C, Python, Csharp in enterprise environments and IoT.


I’m currently a Data Engineer in DFW Texas and making $120k/year. No bonuses. I use AWS, MySQL, Bash, and Python everyday in my current role.

What should I be making given my experience, education, certifications?

Thanks.

Hmmm 120k in Dallas isn't bad to be honest! But with no bonuses and all that work and YOE, you should be bringing in at least 160-180k

I estimated $150k based off my research but thanks for your input.

$150k sounds about right. Of course the company matters. You planning to negotiate salary at your current place or coming up with a salary requirement to job hunt?

Fellow introverts...can I only advance in my career if I take on a leadership role? The thought of this terrifies me.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
