[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get real folks. I am in Tech, and $200k is  about the max for a fresh out of school candidate even in the top of the top silicon valley startups, and that too for the rare candidate from Stanford, MIT, CMU, etc. This is less than 0.5% of the graduating class, why are folks here arguing about issues that are not grounded in reality.

Most fresh graduates will be more than happy to get a job, which they will if they graduate from any of these Top 100 CS schools, and they all will be more than happy to make $60K out of the gate. After that, get some job experience, make your resume look good, learn some skills, and certifications, watch your salary double by switching jobs couple of times in the next 5 years. A smart person can double their salary in CS in that timeframe, and that should be more than good enough. CS is hard, no matter what school you go, and anyone who can graduate with a CS major is good enough, stop creating these class distinctions, we are not in communist china but the united states, here the person who can sell themselves better rises to top, not the best PhD Math student. In fact the best Math student from CMU may end up working for the company whose CEO graduated from Penn State because that person is good at marketing themselves  :D [/quote]
