[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can count on 2 hands the CS grads making $400k base directly out of undergrad, and [b]no CS grad is going to be happy with $60k right out of school[/b]. That was a starting salary 25 years ago[/quote]

Sounds like they have to settle for $65k median according to these reports, these schools are in the Top 100 list.

Doesn't this refute the ridiculous claim that there is no difference in CS starting salary between top school and lower tier graduates?[/quote]

It sure does

https://capd.mit.edu/resources/student-outcomes-and-salaries

go to page 9

CS degree median $118,000.  So almost double MIT over Clemson.  Oh, and that does not include the median bonus of $40,000 (for those that received one).[/quote]

Only $118000? What a dispointment! Where are those with 400k ?[/quote]
What an idiot? 
First, that's median base salary, not the highest or a high percentile. With median bonus of 40k, that's 160k total (again it's median).
Second, no body ever said everyone graduating MIT makes 400k.
Third, a portion of graduates go into startups or have their own startups. They receive relatively low salary in exchange for high potential. These students pull down the overall numbers.[/quote]
