Using mad physics and computer skillz to change the course of empire? Cool! For a $78k salary in HCOL area? Not Cool!

This was years ago and not TX. I'm sure it has gotten slightly better but what I see on glassdoor still makes me very glad I listened to the job hunting postdocs in nanofab class and steered clear of this career path.

It really is such a cool field, but yeah, the pay isn't great, especially given the tendency to crunch.
