I just got an offer from the USPTO. I'm not very impressed with the salary ($60k), but I've heard that income growth potential is high. What's realistic? Would I be making $80k after 2 yrs?

hi, not to put you down in any way, its almost impossible to jump from 60k to 80k at USPTO in 2 years.You also have to remember, as u get promoted, your production expectation rises as well. I would realistically, u can make 70k in 2 years. But then the cost of living is outrageous here, especially if you have a family. So make sure you think about it before any commitment. 5-6 years, probably 90-100k is possible provided you do well production wise and keep getting promoted.

What are normal hours at the USPTO? Is it typical to have to put in unpaid overtime to meet quotas?

Promotion is competitive right? Does that mean you can count on being promoted quickly if you're above quota? Can you be promoted more often than once a year?

Where do people end up working after the USPTO? I'm curious about people who don't get law degrees. Is the USPTO experience considered valuable?
