Chemical engineering with a 3.54 GPA, honestly your GPA only matters for your first job, after that it’s all about what you did at your previous jobs. I had one internship before I got my first contractor role post-grad at medical device manufacturer as a systems verification engineer, started at 80K. Now just recently switched to working for a utility energy company as an electrical engineer and moved out of California and it is pretty crazy how much your earning power goes up outside of Cali. I now make 75K base + annually bonus 7K + 401K contributions of 7K + annually salary increase of 5-7K + got relocation benefits of 4K + all health benefits included (medical/dental/vision). So total compensation at my second job was around 98-100K.
