I think engineers should actively share their salaries with other engineers especially since our field has had pretty significant compensation stagnation the last few decades. I'm in Seattle also, 4 years our of school at $150,000. Aerospace.
Hey! Hope you find the time to answer this question. I'm in the last year of my Bsc. in Mechanical Engineering. I'm currently deciding between a Masters in either Mechanical or Aerospace. My favourite areas of interest are definitely aerodynamics, thermodynamics and heat transfer. Which degree would allow me to earn the most money? I've read that many Mechanical Engineers move to tech companies to get higher salaries (thermal engineering, etc.). Would that move be possible with aerospace?
@@diogoperdigaodp I’m in thermal, everything you said is mostly accurate. I’d get meche master but frankly it doesn’t matter. Min maxing comp is hard. You’re better off focusing on what you like/you’re good at then weasel up comp later. I’ll tell you though your bosses, work life balance, stress, are more important than comp imo. For me best balance is upper middle of comp but wfh and good coworkers/boss.
For the original post, id say that mechanical engineers should be paid more because for the simple reason that i went to a tech school and got an associate degree in machine tool technology and started out right out of school making 21/hr. Also i live in Alabama where it’s really cheap to live. Now im more than 10 years in and im making 41/hr and still in alabama. I know several machinists in Washington and LA that are making nearly 200k yr as a machinist lol. Im sitting in alabama where you can get a really nice house for 250k and im making over 100k yr with overtime. So moral of the story is im doing better than most engineers that went through a brutal 4 yr program and i only did a very easy 2 yrs. Also my insurance is great and my company is paying 100% of my tuition to put me through engineering school. Sad thing is when i start work with my current company i really wont see any more money lol. Basically i doing it because its free and currently just bored with machining
I’ve been watching your videos since freshman year of engineering school. You definitely motivated me to keep striving for the degree. Last December, I graduated with a bachelor’s of Aerospace Engineering. Recently I’ve got a position as an Aerospace Structural Analysis Engineer. I appreciate you sharing your experience. I didn’t know what it was like to be an aerospace engineer let alone a female aerospace engineer. Your videos helped me understand what skills are needed and the work life of an aerospace engineer. Thank you:)
Hi, I'm a filipina avionics and strongly considering taking up graduate studies in Aerospace program. What are your thoughts on Embry-Riddle? It's one of the institutions I'm considering alongside cranfield university and concordia
currently studying as a 1st year aero eng undergrad at imperial college london, this video has given me some motivation to get an internship sometime soon, any tips on how to get one as a 1st year undergrad? great video yet again :)
I'm not sure if your college has any hiring events. If they do, I recommend you attend all of them. Otherwise, use LinkedIn to reach out to recruiters to see if they have any internships available!
im still in 11th grade and failing so bad in math. ngl I would sell a kidney to be smart and good at math and I've always wanted to be an aerospace engineer but there is no way in hell I can do that with my mark.
Don't give up! You're still too young to be giving up :D No one is born good at math, but a lot of us had to work very hard and practice a lot to get good
Why does this fit my description?!?😭But for sure ik and ik for sure I will be an aerospace engineer. I'm getting better every day and I'm sure you will too
I failed every math class in high school. Summer school become normal. The problem with math in HS is that nothing seems real. Math wasn’t born out of thin air, Engineers and Scientists and Business people used it as tool. Studying Engineering makes math easy, cause it become tangible, it becomes real. And Real math is beautiful. I still struggle but you can learn anything cause the men and women the created math are no smarter then you, they just had a greater need to develop it. Get a good tutor and enjoy the process
If you really wanted to become an aerospace engineer and wanted to become good at math the best advice is sleep 8 hours(like the literally sleep not being in just being bed) very low light low noise environment and most importantly a high protein low bread diet.

Wow here in italy 72k are deserved only to senior engineers and that is possible but not sure. Almost always here the first job's salary for an aerospace engineer is about 30k
@@AbiTheEngineer yes but I've to say that in countries like Denmark or Switzerland the situation is so better than in Italy. And this is the main reason that takes us italian engineers to leave our country. I wish you the best for your career🤗
It is a perfect timing that I got your video to watch which is of about same topic that I was searching for. Thank you very much for info. Thanks again. If I want to get my query cleared how can get in touch with you.
Hey! This video was very helpful... Im in the 10th grade and I'm considering engineering... I have one question though... can you please tell me if computer science is absolutely necessary for this profession (I absolutely hate it)
Hi ms. ! I am so happy to see your video. I am crazy for aerospace engineering and i am good in math. Is it a good faculty for international students in USA?
love your vids Abi!!! been watching since college and have graduated since, and have been at NG for a few months now! are you in a GNC role at the new place?
It's so nice! Most of the people around me are telling like; there is no work for aerospace engineer. but after I watched your vdo, I was like wow wow! it's so nice! I am almost 15 years old and trying to apply aerospace engineering major. COuld you please tell me that how did you join (may be stpes by steps with vdo)? Thanks.
Yeah, now I remember when you first started, knew you were here in AZ, but wondered why you never came to work with my company. It's like the biggest spacecraft company here in AZ. I think you need to come back here, we do things better than Seattle,, heehee🤣😂🤣
I am not exactly sure what the curriculum is at the University you plan to attend, but in my case I only had to take one introductory chemistry class (Chemistry for Engineering).

It feels soo good to watch ur videos Abir and i always get inspired by them. Keep going and good luck
Thank you so much 🖤
it’s relieving to hear the first job offer was $72k. I am a mechE out of ASU and my first one was $70k always feared I got lowballed

that's amazing! congratulations! I am so happy to have been able to share my experience
I love the shocked - confused look on people's faces when they ask me what I want to be.
i have a few questions for you. how is the pay. and how is the job itself how hard was it for you to lock in a job
Abi, Im over at the Graduate AeroSpace program at Embry Riddle in Daytona Beach. Im a new fan and have subscribed.

Thank you!
I also an Aerospace Engineer living in Seattle. Im jealous that you're making more than me haha.
Not bad Abir, this just proves your point from the last video mentioning switching jobs giving the biggest bump in salary
Wow here in italy 72k are deserved only to senior engineers and that is possible but not sure. Almost always here the first job's salary for an aerospace engineer is about 30k
Yea I heard that pay for engineers in Europe is a lot lower.
@@AbiTheEngineer yes but I've to say that in countries like Denmark or Switzerland the situation is so better than in Italy. And this is the main reason that takes us italian engineers to leave our country. I wish you the best for your career🤗
is 72k 72000 or 7200 IM DYING
also is it monthly 72k OR YEARLY
@@zyeytt the first😂 72 000 and she says yearly

How about International Students? Do the companies also recruit them since there's ATAR regulations in place?
Please let me know :)))
I am a French 16y/o student and I want to know if I can work in the USA ? I am really good in maths and every science !
Hey! This video was very helpful... Im in the 10th grade and I'm considering engineering... I have one question though... can you please tell me if computer science is absolutely necessary for this profession (I absolutely hate it)
You definitely need some level of coding in any engineering field but it’s not everything you do!
Hi ms. !
I am so happy to see your video. I am crazy for aerospace engineering and i am good in math. Is it a good faculty for international students in USA?
love your vids Abi!!! been watching since college and have graduated since, and have been at NG for a few months now!
are you in a GNC role at the new place?
Thank you! Congrats on graduating and getting a job! Currently I'm in systems :)
My dream is to be aerospace engineer like you 🌠
I really love your videos 🌠and wish me to complete my journey 💗
If you work hard and add a bit of luck ,I'm sure you will become one.
It's so nice! Most of the people around me are telling like; there is no work for aerospace engineer. but after I watched your vdo, I was like wow wow! it's so nice! I am almost 15 years old and trying to apply aerospace engineering major. COuld you please tell me that how did you join (may be stpes by steps with vdo)? Thanks.
I'm fighterofwar from twitch XD
We miss the streams
where did you study engineering, and does it play a part in your salary?
I went to ASU, and no, the university you attend has nothing to do with your salary
I love your headband cat ears or horns or cat ears
Hey I've completed bachelor's in physics , i really like to work on aircrafts, so would u plz suggest a Master's related to it
You could get an Aerospace masters!
Might we do master in aerospace engineering after done bsc CS ?
Abi hie
Di you have any difficulties in getting a job
nice good luck
I wonder how long I’ll have to work in AE to save enough to start my own company 🧐 maybe I’ll be ready in 2097!!! 🤣
Yeah, now I remember when you first started, knew you were here in AZ, but wondered why you never came to work with my company. It's like the biggest spacecraft company here in AZ. I think you need to come back here, we do things better than Seattle,, heehee🤣😂🤣
Oh I’m not aware of any other space companies in AZ 🤔 when I started, there were a couple and I worked for one of the main ones lol
Her: making 72k out of college
Me: cries in european
Sir how much do you earn? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
@@gourabsarker9552 Starting salary here is about 48000 euros edit: gross, net as a single person would be 30000 euros per year
How old r u? When did u get to uni
I'm from india. Girl.. I'm in my 1st year Aeronautics eng. Mostly like a lost puppy..... Any tips for me?
Is it helpful to do interns now!?
How's your studies going on? Cause it's my dream to become an aerospace engineer 💜
Why'd you want to be an aerospace engineer?

You don't need to lie. Those figures are not real, but if it helps you sleep at night, good for you.
if you tell yourself ppl actually get paid this much for their skills, then whatever makes you sleep at night lol
Not sure why you’re coping about how she’s getting paid, but if it helps you sleep at night, good for you
I'm about to get into college and aeronautical engineering is one of my job choice and I want to know if you need to be good at chemistry
I am not exactly sure what the curriculum is at the University you plan to attend, but in my case I only had to take one introductory chemistry class (Chemistry for Engineering).
yea same
فيديو جريئة great thank you
do you usually read DM's on instagram??
nice video btw :)
Yes, sometimes but I can't reply to them because I get too many
