Wages and Job titles

Hey everyone. I had a question about wages. My company has been known to undercut people for years on wages. i'm 20 years old and I really like programming these machines. So i will stick with it. Also, because i am new, i am ok with what they are paying me. I make $18.19/hour with less than a full year of experience. My company does yearly "Cost of living" raises. But nothing other than that. They can undercut people because of the job titles they give people. My job title isn't "CMM Programmer", It's "QA Technician". Like i said, i don't really care what im getting paid right now, because its paid experience in the field.

What would fair ranges of pay be for these fields
-- 0 to 3 years--
-- 3 to 5 years--
--5 to 10 years--
--10 years +--

I don't really wanna know what you guys are making, i just wanna hear some ranges.

If you don't wanna comment, then dont Rolling eyesRolling eyes

Thanks.

  • I think it's all a trade off. In Bakersfield or Los Angeles California I could make more money but in Bakersfield it gets to OVER 100 degrees in the summer, and for L.A. it's L.A. no way for me!!!!! I live on the western slope of Colorado the weather is nice. I can hunt fish ride ATVs . I work 4 10s and its great. I'm expecting to make less but the trade off is worth it. Big city how long does it take to go to dinner? Me 5 minutes 10 if it's on the other side of town. To drive back and forth to work 10 minutes each way(other side of townSlight smile) I dig it. Plus in a couple of years I can retire to this!
