How did you get into SW exec role

Joined a startup as one of the first 10 employees and was eventually acquired

What was backup planning startup failed; I’ve looked at plenty but the high risk of flaming out and not making rent was dicey for us.

I was young, unmarried, no kids

Uh, when I was young unmarried and no kids I still needed to pay rent (and student loans)...

No, it’s extremely rare for a new CS graduate to start at 100k. Maybe the top 2-4%.

Here are the companies offering more than $100k for a newly CS graduate from uva: yelp, appian, capital one, disney, microsoft, amazon, google, etc...both my kids have such offers and said their friends had similar offers last/this year.
