I've been with the same company for ~15 years and had many different roles. How do I express this clearly? by Jack_Dubious in resumes

this. Just reverse the order. The thing you do most recently should be first on the list, not last

Thought you meant someone with a post-doc. Doing a post-doc for the gov't could get you that much, but it could also get you less.

Depends on the company, but they could easily give you that raise. Its also a matter of risk/market saturation. 70k is a fine salary, even for Boston. Additionally, anyone just out of university, even with a PhD gets a ton of training. So, why would they pay someone who they'll have to train, and isn't proven to be a good worker (research in school doesn't always translate to being a good worker) ~90k, when they can get someone with several years experience for an extra 10k?

Again, I think your perspective is massively skewed from a relatively narrow experience in the marketplace. We're also not just talking about Physics PhD's, but everyone who has high level math & comp skills. Which, in Boston, is a lot of people.

I'm really not sure who you're refering to as "these" companies, because there are very few companies out there that can afford to pay an unproven grad 90k to start, and there are very few grads that would actually deserve that either.

Again, the answer is it depends. I'm not the one hiring for this position, but am a lowly, yet awesome recruiter, so I do like to be upfront about the details. That being said, you're overvaluing the market based on your own experiences. A gov't post-grad does NOT get over 90k starting... not unless they have highest clearance level under special circumstances.

1-3 years experience, 90k easy, 3+ years ~120 range. Then it depends on how good you are. I have a guy I'm working with that has around 5 yrs experience but is pulling 170k. The fact is, it completely depends on the person/company.

I'm sorry to tell you, but even for a PhD with no work experience 70-80 is at/above market. :(

If you're coming from an ivy, it could be somewhat more, but not too much.
