When I was hired as an associate software engineer five years ago right out of college, my pay was $45K + benefits. Before that, as a student aide, I was paid $14/hr. Another student aide with more skills was paid $19/hr. Most software engineers where I work now make around $55K + benefits. Sr. SW engineers make around $65K, and the top SW engineers make something over $80K. This is what Honeywell pays in the midwest.
