Interestingly, it isn't how much time you've put in or how much you've
spent or any of that stuff that is of value to your employer. That is,
your choice of the word "for" is utterly wrong. She isn't going to be
paid "for" that crap.
> I quickly thought that the engineering side may prove more profitable
It's good to know that you love architecture.
> Are these realistic salaries?
Maybe.
>=A0Why are they so low?
What makes you think they are low? What's "high"? Who makes those
numbers? Why?
>=A0Any suggestion or guidance would be a great help
You make money by bringing other people value. The more value you can
bring them the more money they will give you.
Other people are chasing the same money you are chasing. Why should
you have it and not them?
