Electrial Engineering Salary

This afternoon I was checking out salary.com trying determine what I
should be making. When I searched for "Electrical Engineer" the pay
scales are broken down into how many years of experience a person has.


"...2-4 years of experience in the field or in a related area..."

"...4-6 years of experience in the field or in a related area..."

"...6-8 years of experience in the field or in a related area..."

I have been gaining software and hardware experience since about age 16
and I started my own tech based business when I was 17. Programming
and working with hardware have developed my skills over the years.
This seems to be close to 12 years of experience in the field or in a
related area to what I am doing now. ( Software/Hardware )

What I am not clear on is what is appropriate to include for experience
when negotiating salary? I didn't get my degree in engineering until
2003 resulting in more serious jobs and more technical growth. After
college with a degree I have about 3.5 years experience working.
Should I include the more serious jobs after college or all my work
experience?


Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Show and tell it ALL. But absolutely no BS-ing in the interview -
truth is the only thing that works - if you don't know, say so.

Sorry, but that sort of stuff really wierds people out and is probably not
good for customer relations.

But are you tweaking it, twiddling it, or frobbing it?

Thought control seems to work but doesn't finish the job without a good
beating.

Do you offer a range of products?
