Wages and Job titles

ThePudds
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.

  • You make $18.19/hour with less than a full year of experience.

    What would your company pay for these fields

    -- 3 to 5 years--
    --5 to 10 years--
    --10 years +--


    Will that pay be enough for your needs and wants?

    Do you contribute to medical costs?
    Does the company contribute to a 401K matching plan and do you contribute at the MAXIMUM percentage or amount?
    Do you anticipate marriage and a family?
    Home ownership?
    New vehicle?
    Vacation home, boat, camper, etc?
    Saving for kids education, weddings?
    Emergency funds?

    Answer these questions honestly and you will have your decision.

    I recently retired from a Big3 auto company as a union member. Good luck whatever choice you make.

    Hello ThePudds!

    It looks like you are on a good path. I don’t see any negative responses in your reply.

    Are you the sole breadwinner for your family? Absolutely nothing wrong with that, just sometimes a second income can be helpful. My wife worked for a few years to help out when things got tight for our family.

    Your peace of mind and a happy family life are the most important aspect to who you and your family are.

    Your top pay grade rate at $25.77 might be enough for your needs. What can you do to make more? Education and knowledge and experience go a long way to financial goals.

    Maybe a move to a better paying employer? Relocation is not for everyone. Being away from family and friends can lead to marital destruction.

    Only you can decide what direction you need to take.

    Anyways, best of luck and keep learning and map out a plan for your successful future.
