Salary Update on ChemE Salary Report 2024

Hey everyone, first - thank you to everyone here who has already participated. As of this morning, I have 1,230 responses and my goal is at least 1,500 - so almost there. If you've already completed the data collection form, no need to do it again (the system will flag the entry as a duplicate anyway).

If you've not seen this or are unaware AND you're a chemical engineer, I need your help. I've been updating a salary report, specifically for USA-based Chemical Engineers, for the past 8 years. It started out humbly but has gotten better and better with more and more participants each year. I've had countless people tell me that they've used the data to get themselves more industry competitive offers or in salary negotiation situations. Last year and this year, I've spent the month of December collecting salary data from US-based ChemEs, then I compile and analyze the data and send out the report to anyone who sends me their data. I'm a real person, my LinkedIn URL is below. The form is located on my website and I list a number of commitments there (I won't sell your data, etc). What's in this for me is that hopefully you will remember me when you're a fancy manager or executive somewhere and partner with me to fill a few chemical engineering jobs. That's how I make my money. Anyway - if you've got questions, don't hesitate to message me.

TL;DR: Complete the chemical engineering salary survey to help yourself and your fellow colleagues. Data collection will close on December 31st.

Is it worth me filling this out if I did ChEng undergraduate but then moved to materials engineering for my Master’s? My job is in materials.

Well I mean more like is it valuable to the dataset?

I leave it up to you - if you feel like you are working in something related to the industry, go for it. If you're pretty far outside the industry I'd say hold off. Either way, I won't stop you!

Okay. I think it would be valuable.
