wawrecker,

You're in the Seattle area? I spent 3 years (seamed like forever), working for one one your competitors. The evil empire in the crystal palace. Their Chief Estimator(s), when they can keep one, barely makes $100k. Your other competitors, Rhine, Iconco/LVI, Harper, NW Demo, would never pay that kind of salary for a Jr. Estimator.

Over $100k for bringing in only $2 mil?

I could teach any college graduate to bring in more than that the first year.

A good rule of thumb is you should bring in 50 - 100 times your salary. If you're getting $50k/year, you should bring in $2.5 - $5 million. If your pulling down $100k/year, you better bring in $7.5 - $10 million.
