The best way to advance in a company is to become a work-a-holic, but most people want to maintain a work-life balance. You can still maintain a good work-life balance and shine among your peers. For instance, do not be satisfied with the work you were given. Ask to become owner of some high visibility issues your company is having. And once you own it, you finish it.

Electrical Engineering Salaries
Over the past several years, an increase in competition for electrical engineering jobs has stifled electrical engineering salaries for those entering the field. However, as the Electrical Engineering Salaries by Years of Experience chart illustrates, electrical engineering salaries remain relatively high. The chart also shows an exponential increase in electrical engineering salaries after just 4 years of experience, suggesting that increased competition has mainly had an effect on electrical engineering salaries for those breaking into the field. And, it does appear as if competition for electrical engineering jobs will remain stiff. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment growth for electrical engineering jobs is expected to be slower than the average for most occupations. But, as engineers begin to retire and demand for electrical devices increases, along with the advancing technology used in electrical engineering, we could begin to see a gradual upward climb in employment growth for electrical engineers.
Electrical Engineering Salaries and Degree
In electrical engineering jobs, experience matters most, but a degree follows close behind. As companies look to replace retiring employees, job precedence will be given to those applicants with an educational background in electrical engineering, who possess the knowledge to fill their predecessors' shoes. By earning a degree, not only will you increase your chance of landing a job, but you can also increase your electrical engineering salary potential. If you take a look at Electrical Engineering Salaries by Degree, you'll notice that, on average, electrical engineering salaries for those with a Master's degree are approximately $10,000 more than for those with a Bachelor's degree.
Government Engineering Salaries - Electrical Engineer
In times of low employment growth, many people look to the government for employment. Because of the diverse range of governmental institutions that are vital to creating a national infrastructure, the government has a steady demand for employees from most fields. Electrical engineers working for the government will often work to maintain and develop lighting systems, radar navigation systems, power generation, and transmission devices as they relate to government operated buildings, automobiles, and aircraft. The government also has a pretty good reputation for paying well. If you take a look at Electrical Engineering Salaries by Employer Type, you'll notice that government engineering salaries rank second, only slightly behind electrical engineering salaries at hospitals.
