Controls tech pay?

[WillyTech]

I recently switched to controls from mechanic. I took a hit in pay just to get into controls but im at 45k with no controls experience but 6+ years mechanic. My company pays our techs 65-90k with 5+ years experience. In Florida that is.

90k? I'll maybe see that with 60hr weeks.

60hrs...that's a normal week isn't it?

I'll be careful what I wish for.

What is your skill level to make 60 to 90 k.

[WillyTech]

I've got 8 years. But it's not so much the time as trying to pick up as much as you can as fast as you can and trying to excel at it. I've always thought you have to be really anal to be a good tech.

Around the holidays with the short weeks. I don't even want to think about how much I make an hour ever since I put myself on salary.

LOL. Yea makes up for some of the other weeks that it comes out to minimum wage!

Sooo, a Sales/Programmer/Integrator/Project Mgr should make a quarter mil/yr, I'm in!!!

Yes.

However, the proper definition of that position is "owner of the company".

And you'll average significantly more than 60 hours a week to get that. Then wait on Obummer to stick his hand in your pocket come April....

Salary will depend on which part of the country that the job is located in. I would estimate between $40k to $90k depending on the responsibility of the position.
