Real engineer here, mechanical working to design medical devices like plates and screws for trauma cases.

We average around $100k across the US, and on the extreme end can top out around $200k, but that's a rare case. Typical top end is $150k with I'd say at least 12 years if experience.

Starting salary typically $70k.

This is for places that are average COL, so not San Francisco, and also not Alabama.

    Yeah, that's decent. Not fuck-you money, but decent.

    OP asked for any example, so I went with FAANGS, but wages there are inflated by being a bunch of monopolies all headquartered in the same place. Last I heard a senior dev in Canada makes like 60k.
