What’s a realistic TC for a Senior Systems Engineer in Texas? I have 11 YOE with data center technologies (VMWare, HCI, Networking, SAN, etc.) as well as plenty of Windows experience. It seems like every post and job these days are for software developers. I have been working on my AWS certification. Are people like me already obsolete?

120K to 160K is what I have heard being paid for senior systems engineer roles. I dont know what Google/FB are paying in Austin.

Thanks @Shell 1. I’m not sure if you’re in Houston like I am, but that is what I’m seeing, Right now I’ve been interviewing for jobs in the $140ish range. I do a lot of work the O&G industry like yourself.

Engineers who don't learn how to automate at least part of what they do will fall by the wayside eventually. If you don't learn the actual coding, learn the tools that do it for you like cisco NSO. Hand jammed networks are slowly dying.

Try levels.fyi ?

Not sure about Texas but I would assume relatively comparable to North Carolina which is where I'm at. I'm a senior engineer (but was only promoted to senior this year). 8 years of experience. Base salary is $100k and no bonus eligibility. With that said, I believe I am underpaid. I have a friend with a year less experience who just landed a new gig for $117k. I think your target should be $130k-$150k.
