[ New Zhiyuan Introduction] Recently, IEEE released an annual salary report. Data shows that the median salary of US engineers has dropped significantly for the first time since 2013.

How much money can American technical professionals make?

Recently, IEEE-USA released the 2022 US technician salary report.

In 2021, the median income of US engineers and other technical professionals as IEEE members reached $160,097, up from $154,443 in 2020.

However, by this year, it has dropped directly by nearly $3,500.

This is the first significant decline in the median salary of technology employees recorded by IEEE-USA since 2013 in terms of consumption capacity.

The latest survey report analyzed 3,057 people working full-time in the technology field and took their income into consideration, which excluded overtime pay, bonuses, profit and side jobs.

Women's salary is lower than men

Latest data shows that the salary difference between men and women is obvious, and the salary gap between them has increased to $33,900. The gap between

is difficult to measure because generally, the male population has more work experience than women, and it may lead to a decline in median wages as more women enter the technical expertise field.

Survey report pointed out that female engineers have remained relatively stable in the proportion of labor force, and have been within 10% in the past decade.

Salary racial gap narrowed

In 2021, the salary gap between white and African-American engineers decreased by $11,000 to $13,000.

and the income gap between Caucasian and Hispanic engineers has decreased by nearly $6,000 to $12,278.

Solid-state circuit engineering is hot

021, it can be said to be a good time to work in solid-state circuits.

Salary in this technology field continues to rise sharply and ranks first in the salary list divided by majors.

, the number one on the chart, , the average salary for consumer electronics , fell. Engineers working with other circuits and devices, machine learning, image and video processing, as well as medicine and biology engineering have made great progress.

Engineers engaged in other circuits and equipment, machine learning, image and video processing, as well as medicine and bioengineering have also made some improvements in salary.

Job satisfaction declined

IEEE-USA Overall job satisfaction of engineers surveyed declined in 2021, mainly related to compensation and promotion opportunities. However, satisfaction with the technical challenges of engineering work has increased significantly.

The salary of engineers in the Pacific coast is further increased

Compared with other parts of the United States, the median salary of engineers in the Pacific coast has increased significantly, and the increase is faster than that of the imagined prosperous areas such as Southwest Central region (including Texas).

However, these numbers are not adjusted for the cost of living in the region.

Some time ago, the American technology company data collection website Levels.fyi released the latest US software engineer salary report (as of August).

This report collects data on salary, benefits, grades and other aspects of more than 100,000 employees in more than 1,500 cities around the world.

At the same time, for the convenience of statistics, the report records the median income of programmers . The report divides programmers into 5 levels according to their seniority and rank.

Data shows that ByteDance's senior engineers ranked 6th with an annual salary of US$443,000 (3.03 million yuan), and Roblox offered a sky-high price of US$1.2 million (8.23 million yuan) for the chief engineer.

or above statistics on the salary of American software engineers. So, what about the salary of programmers in other countries?

According to codesubmit data, the United States ranks first, with an average salary of $110,000 (750,000 yuan), followed by Switzerland and several other European countries.

Among them, the average salary in China is US$23,000 (150,000 yuan).

In May this year, Liepin Big Data Research Institute also launched the "2022 Internet Big Factory Programmers' Way Out Big Data Analysis".

From the perspective of the average annual salary for newly issued positions in programmers in major industries, programmers' recruitment salary is generally higher, all higher than 240,000.

In these industries, the average annual salary for recruiting programmers in electronic communications, finance, the Internet, and service outsourcing industries is over 300,000 yuan, ranking in the top 4.
