SALARIES BY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
When calculating years of experience since graduation, we assumed that an individual enters the workforce immediately upon completing his or her last degree. This may not be the case for all individuals. However, it is considered the norm from a surveying perspective. Usually, progression to the next responsibility level is also dependent on an individual’s years of experience in the workforce. As more in-depth knowledge and specializations are gained over time, an individual’s overall level of contribution and responsibility within a company progresses as well. The highest average base salary is not necessarily attributed solely to the individuals with the most years of experience. It is generally more directly related to an individual’s level of expertise or specialization, individual performance, and overall contribution within the company. Responsibility level A- has been omitted in these charts, as this level falls outside of the defined parameters for years of experience since graduation.
