Quality Assurance Jobs: Tips for Calculating your Salary

After sending out resumes for months, you finally landed a quality assurance job. However, it's difficult to know if the job offer is good without research. Read on to learn tips for calculating your quality assurance salary.

Evaluating the industry. The industry you choose will have a large effect on your salary. For example, pharmaceutical, biotech and medical devise companies tend to pay very well. When comparing salaries, make sure to compare within the same industry.

Experience level. The salary for quality assurance jobs ranges from $50,000 to $70,000 annually. Typically, you'll start at the lower end of the pay scale, and get a salary bump each year during annual review time.

Adjust your salary based on geography. Although Salary.com sites quality assurance professionals earning $70,000 with 20 years of experience, this figure may be higher or lower, depending on your geographic location.
