| Depends on the industry. In the automotive industry as an ME/EE it might take a whole career. In the Petroleum industry, on average, maybe 5 years. Top examples would be one of my friends who is brushing ~90K (salary) with less than 12 months. With bonus and vacation cash out he might hit 100K. Top CS graduates can get 100K can get 100K+ in total compensation upon graduation (highly atypical, but possible). |
