The amounts must be for programmers instead of real engineers, because the Embedded Software Engineers in USA that I know are making $90K to $120K direct, and some contractors are making upwards of $140K to $180K a year, which is around $70 to $90 per hour. Heck I know some very specialized Embedded Software Engineers charging over $100 per hour.

How about benefits...

How much is health insurance worth per year? I've worked at 2 companies where I didn't have to pay a dime for my health insurance.

How about matching 401K, some places are matching dollar for dollar or even up to $2 per dollar.
