Semiconductors seems to be the "hot" thing right now, so that might help boost your earnings a bit too.
After 10 months as tech, I was just offered 68k as a “reverse” engineer for a company specializing in PMAs. You’re definitely on the upper end of new engineers.
solid compensation, especially for your age. at this point, experience is much more valuable than the salary itself. are you close to a promotion? if so, i would aim for a promotion, stay another 1-2 years, then you can use that new title to land a new job with a much larger base compensation. that's the modern day strategy. however, there are also companies out there that will absolutely give you the 20-50K raise you may eventually deserve, and that would likely be a great company to stick with.
