I wonder how it compares to the average salary for an experienced hardware engineer. It may be a ~50% pay bump in 1996 vs a 10-25% bump today.

In 1996 college grads were pretty excited about $50K-$60K paychecks. So I can't imagine a senior engineer getting more than $120K or so, but they definitely were not only getting $50K.
