    Salary for new engineer with MS. To be specific- intel

    Thanks for understanding what I wanted to say! I am doing EE and I know it's an average salary if I compare it with SW people. No, its not in SC. My location will be in Oregon. Does salary vary with location? I guess OR is better than CA while comparing living cost.
