The average engineer at Boeing makes $120k/year. That's about $50k less than what a new grad with no experience will get from big tech.

Boeing doesn't have a culture problem, they have an idiot problem. The idea that you can hire competent engineers offering salaries like that is absurd.

They need to adopt a pay for performance mentality and bring in managers who are not afraid to fire underperformers.




Just where is an inexperienced new grad making $170k out of the gate? I find this difficult to believe. Are you normalizing for cost of living? I suspect, most Boeing employees aren't based in the Valley.


A major Boeing campus is in Huntsville, AL, which is going to affect that average for sure.
