How much should a new PhD graduate in engineering expect as a first year starting salary in private sector? What is your experience with salary?

Why don't you look at salary comparison websites like indeed.com or salary.com? They can give you a ball park figure for the job and location that you're looking at.

For a newly minted engineering PHD I think the average is somewhere between $70,000-$90,000 (based on the information from my schools career services). The variation comes from things like previous experience (ie, if you were in the work force before going to grad school), the specific type of engineering, the school your degree is from, etc.

70-80k, so not much more than a Masters.
