What is the Salary for Telecommunications PhD degree holder?

Hi!

I have recently just graduated with a PhD in Telecommunications in one
of the universities in UK. I wonder what is the expecting salary for a
new PhD graduate in the area of Telecommunications in UK, USA, Germany
(e.g. Munich) and Finland (e.g. Oslo)?

It would be great if someone could provide some rough ideas or some
related links that can give me relevant information about this.

Many thanks.

Linda

Did Helsinki and Oslo swap locations? 

Oslo used to be in Norway and Helsinki in Finland. Both are nice cities.

Unemployment in the technology sector in the USA is extremely high
right now.  If one can find work in the field, the pay is quite
good.  But finding that work is next to impossible.

Ph.Ds count for little in the UK engineering industry. I remember being
told that I would be payed little more than a recent graduate when I
finished mine - so better to not bother at all.Remember engineers in the
UK are equated to little more than TV repairmen in the public eye.

This will already cost 25% of base salary... :-)

I would say between EUR-50k and EUR-100k, depending on how lucky you are.
Also, take tax into consideration, you might get offered EUR-100k to work 
in Stockholm and pay 45% tax, or EUR-80k to work in Dublin and pay 20% tax.
Also, note how strong Sterling is at the moment and how weak the dollar is.
