Salary ranges

We already know that a Security Service Engineer can earn between 216,800 MXN and 606,400 MXN on average in Mexico. This is known as the range in statistics.

If you are earning more than the median salary, that's a good indicator that you are being paid well.

If you're not earning more than the median salary, your objective should be to increase your earnings to be at least as high as the median salary (which you can do by asking for a pay rise, looking for a better paying job, etc).
