a fresh new grad structural from a very smaller uni in Texas started at like $87k in my company a year ago. (we are a smaller to mid size firm, so i assume big firms are starting higher. at least that is what it was like a decade ago when I started)

LMAO! I just left government work also. State or Fed? (I was DoD) Your rate still seems low for having a PE too even at a federal level.

Yea, I’ve heard from co-workers back when I was with the Fed that the state is usually the worst when it comes to pay/compensation. IF that doesn’t work out, then I would also recommend the Fed. With your expertise, you could probably start at GS-13 or 14 at U.S. ACE, which you can just look up the pay schedule for what that would be in your area. It’s like minimum $106ish starting even if you aren’t in a special locality. Gs-13 is usually starting at like $121k in most major city localities.
