Either I'm dumb or else the question is not right He said: " I have a bachelor degree in EE from Nepal. I am doing masters in EE here in US". Have you completed your masters degree? How did you get a Job with a degree from Nepal if you don't have a degree from the US? Are you doing CPT? Probably not since you're saying that you've been with the company for two years. It's not making sense to me. If you got a job from Nepal's degree then it's the right salary. Next, what is your area of focus? Automation may mean several things to me. Software/Mechanical/Power, and EE may mean Power/Circuits/Solid State/Communications... which one is yours? There are too many variables in your question to decide whether you are underpaid or not. Please clarify the above questions and then we all can decide. And as Thapap dai would say-- what do I know? :o)
