<p>I was poking around on Indeed.com, and it shows that average engineering salary in San Fran is 100k+, and in Hawaii it’s 62k+, New York is 100k+. I think all three states have a high cost of living, but does the mainland have a better pay in engineering compared to Hawaii? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You can find better data. Go to this page: [Occupational</a> Employment Statistics Home Page](<a href=“http://bls.gov/oes/]Occupational”>http://bls.gov/oes/)</p>

<p>On the left hand side, there’s a little search box titled ‘Search OES’. Enter your field (for example, “electrical engineer”). Click on the result with the appropriate title, and you’ll get a page like [this[/url</a>]. Scroll down, and you’ll see [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/sw172071.gif]this”&gt;http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/sw172071.gif]this</a> map](<a href=“http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes172071.htm]this[/url”>http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes172071.htm).</p>

<p>Remember to account for cost-of-living disparities, and also remember that averages don’t dictate your individual experience.</p>

<p>Moderator’s note: Any extraneous and irrelevant diversions to OP’s original question are not warranted since it is specific to engineering salaries in various states and their basis.</p>

<p>It’s about the companies that are in those states. I can’t name a prestigeous engineering company in Hawaii. I can name plenty in California and New York.</p>
