That's an astounding salary range by Australian standards. For reference, I work as a senior analytical chemist/team leader at a fairly large laboratory in a large Australian city and I'm on the equivalent of $50,000 USD before tax.
ReplyDeleteI think that says more to the abysmal state of wages for scientists in Australia, than this job being well paid.
DeleteThat is a decent entry level salary for someone with a BS...
DeleteAccounting for inflation, that is about what I started at in Dupont in 1981 in an entry level position with a BS in Chemistry.
OP here. It may indeed be a decent entry level salary for someone with a BS.... Problem is I have a BS with Honours and a PhD in synthetic organic chem, and that's may pay after five years of experience!
DeleteWhen I started five years ago (just after PhD graduation) I was on $40,000 USD equivalent, and that's adjusting for inflation too... 'Scientist' is a financially dismal occupation in this country indeed.
