on the left hand side of the page, there's a bunch of links. Click on the one called "Salary Poll" and look for people will similar stats.

how badly do want to live in new york?

how badly are you willing to live in new york?

Connecticut is just north of New York City....and the living is alot better!

yes i want to be in nyc for now at least. I did checked those salary poll from archinect..but I'm not sure if its that accurate.??..

With your sweet kick ass experience I'm willing to bet a NYC firm might even pay you to work there.

Most people have to pay out just to work in NYC. The city is so bitchin' cool it's totally worth it though.

The salary poll is just individual experiences, not an average. So you'll get some really high numbers and some really low numbers mixed in there, and it's up to you to extrapolate your own conclusions from that data.

aquarpura- thanks! I do hope to get in some big international firms here. any good suggestion? like som, kpf....etc.....

any new yorker working here in manhattan, advice welcome?!

you have a lot of experience and should get the higher numbers in the salary poll...
i hear via an engineer friend that SOM just got lots of new work and is hiring a boat load of people right now. you can see all the postings in the jobs section here and on craigs list.
good luck!

I know its a bit awkward to ask this specific question but...really with my experiences, do you think its too much if I ask for at least
$65-70k?

Pls be honest...

^ $65-70k is definetly not out of the question.

Check your e-mail, I have salary data to send to you.
