[quote=Anonymous][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

CS degree [b][u]median [/u][/b]$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]

PP here.  I never commented on the $400K.  However that being the median certainly doesn't prevent it, and in fact supports the obvious point that half make more than that.  Maths and whatnot.[/quote]

For MIT grads, their stats in Computer Software are low $60,000 to high $160,000 with the bonus mean of $30,345.  Their tops didn't hit $400,000 - at least not in 2018.  Of course, this doesn't prevent $400,000, or a pie in the sky, in any other year.
