Hi gents,

I am getting a job as an engineer in the next month at a place that I’ve been interning for over a year, and I need to prepare for salary negotiations.

It’s a research/design job in the Antenna/RF field. I have 2 years of relevant intern experience, a secret clearance, and proven abilities at my current workplace. The position is for a defense company in San Diego California. I graduated with a 3.5 GPA from UCSD and will be attending grad school there while employed.

So far my best guess is 70-80 thousand from what I’ve seen on pay scale sites and from what I’ve gathered from fellow antenna guys.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Peter
