Hi to ALL,

I have a bachelor degree in EE from Nepal. I am doing masters in EE here in US.

My current employer is paying me 43,000 per year.
I am thinking to change this employeer. I have been working here for about 2 yrs.
Am I uderpaid? Pls suggest.

I am getting 70K a year working in a convinient store. I basically do nothing, but surf the internet, and watching movies. Am I overpaid??????

I am not sure on myself, but i can tell Mr. bond is underpaid.

oho...hahaha..thapap, kya guff dine! jatti kamaye pani napugne katti asantoshi hau ? :D
======================
tara sadhai jastai
malai ke thaha chha ra? :O)

mr. bond bhai,
all i can say is: finish ur masters, go for a Phd, publish 4 journals, 2 book chapters and some 10 conference papers. after that u will easily earn a post doctoral research position in a school. u will be doing some cutting edge research yet unexplored by human being and they will pay u 45-48K in the beginning. :D

be happy :D :P....remain seated in your cubicle and work ur ass off, don't look around. ur wish will be ur boss's command :P

LooTe - Da - Berojgaar :D

(where stipend is @ 32k/yr to 40k/yr) so .. LooTe da hunk and LooTe da Laureate... please be yappy kya. buy some gifts and send it to me. you have my address.. mail it .. (O:...

once again, I repeat,
with maximum potential of making (six figures)$ 9,999.99 (nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine and ninety-nine cents) makes me highly underpaid, overworked, disgruntled, and vicious graduate student........

wish u ever had to go through being one of those grad students with (9k/yr stipend) then you would know the pain and sufferings..
======================================================
once again
what do i know (O:

ThapaP da Graduate Student

I agree with fountaindew. If he got a job based on his EE degree from Nepal thru a consultant ( most likely indian consultant), 43K is not bad deal. It's hard to see that companies hire a person who does not have a degree from US.

Thapap dai, Samaya ko abhav ta sadhai nai cha. Tara aja yeso Sajha ma ke ke cha bhanera herum bhanda bhandai dherai lekhna/bolna pugechu. Ke garne, Nepali kancha na parey
I understand your pain as a graduate student. It's tough and one time it almost got me, but hang in there dai!!
Once again, as you'd say what do I know

Fountain,

I am GC holder. I have 3 more courses to go for masters in EE (majoring in power electronics). I think I am heavily underpaid based on my degree and experience. My currrent GPA in masters is 3.9.
My bachelor degree is equivalent to US bachelor degree. This is based on credential evaluation. I am a direct hire from this company. I think I was more defensive during interview coz I didn't have US degree and they came up with this salary range.

Thanks for any feedback

Mr. Bond,

I strongly agree with FountainView. He is absolutely right. a lot of factors come in to play when it comes to salary. Since you have NOT finished your Masters yet, my suggestion to you finish it first. By the time u are done you will have few yrs. of exp. plus the advance degree. Then you can ask for what you want. You were lucky to have a job with Nepal's EE degree (no offense). Furthermore, why are you asking this question after two yrs? You have a bright future. Yes, for the moment you are slightly underpaid, but not heavily.

siddtg69us,
you said "Id say if pepople with EE digree just get 45000 p. a thna whats the fun of studying so hard all those years one might just become a tech or something else and earn better." The fun is you spent in Nepali Currency and you now you are earning in $$$. Ain't that fun? And not to mention, sh*t happens sometimes, we'll just have to move on :)

2oYrOl'Vrgn,

Does your emplyer make anything at all? Since you make $70k/yr working at a convinient store. I guess, your boss hasn't seen the sales report for such a long time ;)

Just trying to kill my Sunday morning guys. No offense :)

dude for your said credentials you are underpaid, but if you seriously needed answer for the question from sajha then you are overpaid.
