Pro Tip

Thinking face emojiSalaries

Employers rarely disclose specific salaries, so finding salary data can be difficult. There is no federal law requiring employers to disclose salary data, and state laws vary. In addition to visiting commercial websites like Glassdoor and Payscale, try state-focused compensation databases, which might be managed either by state-sponsored institutions, or non-profit institutions, (e.g., Government Compensation in California).

  • Search for roles that match you interests (keep in mind that the database may use abbreviations, e.g., engr for engineer).
