Hi folks,

Can anybody  tell me about the salary expectation  for a job in a microelectronics company near Düsseldorf in Germany with 2.5 year work exp ?

I  have  a masters  degree in electronics  engineering. I design analog chip ( integrated circuits )   in a  German company.

What  should be salary expectation for the same job in a US company ?  

Hi  Dan,

       Thanks for your response. Recently I have discovered that I am getting underpaid. If I move to another company, I can demand the industry-average salary for my qualification. But due to financial downturn, nowadays its difficult to switch to a different company. I am thinking about salary negotiation with my employer. How much should I demand from him ?  Industry average which means 20% increment of the current salary?  Or , simply 5 or 10% increment ?

With Regards,

Before you get too upset you should think about it a little. 2,5 years could be time enough to so some really nice work but it could also be that you are not really autonomous yet and you need a lot of guidance.

I'm not saying that's the case, I'm just saying you should think carefully if you really are right before making too much noise.
