@PXjTEJc-deb - How many years total experience ? (including pre-GE if any)
SPB almost 10 years, $136500
Greenville, LPB with 13+ years, base salary $93,000. Bonus was just over $7k.
I agree with @glk on the healthcare & benefits situation. Raises and bonuses are nowhere near to keeping up with these costs. When I first started, our benefits were great. Now they are a sick joke and give me one more reason to look for opportunities elsewhere.
Sorry, the postbelow (also mine) is for Greenville SC based employment.
SPB with 13 yrs at GE, 10 yrs experience coming into GE...$110k, bonus last year was ~$10k.
The healthcare situation is atrocious. Any raise you’re lucky enough to get is consumed by increased benefit costs each year (I got a 2% raise this year and my benefit contribution went up ~$1800). My first year at GE I had a surgery...cost me $50 copay. My wife recently had a similar surgery and it cost $8k out of pocket!
Unless you are near retirement, there is certainly no financial benefit to staying at GE.
$125K base with 25 yrs is pretty low! its not high! add to barebones insurance & delayed 401K contribution.
Oh Man! why would someone not want to take their "experience" elsewhere and earn atleast $200K base? is relocation out of atlanta the biggest damper (+ locked with a home+ spouse job_ kids school)?
Benefits were great when I started in the late 80’s. Even had a pension. They blow now. The medical is now barely subsidized Obamacare. The latest insult is not paying your 401k company match as you make monthly contributions but instead in a lump at the end of the year.
It is not just salary. Prior to GE getting rid of vacations, US employees got very limited vacation compared to Europe. The salary list in a prior post are about right. I would say some employees in divisions like steam would be about $125k with 25 years. Sounds like a lot but raise a family of 4 on that with GE’s sh--ty healthcare benefits that now cost 4 times more than days of old. Thank You Democrats.
I was an spb with 26 years in power in Atlanta before I left 2 years ago. I made 135 K. I left for more money. I liked working at ge but leaving was my best career move by far.
SPB up to $300k
