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.

The list of employers here is very instructive, go to page 16 to see where EECS graduates are employed, here it is:

Ab Initio Software LLC, Akamai Technologies, Animet, AppDynamics, Apple, AppNexus, ASAPP, Autodesk, Bloomberg, Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Cruise, EdX, Facebook, Fire Hose Games, GoDaddy, Google, Google via Adecco, Kensho Technologies, Keybase, Krypt Co., Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir Technologies, Perch, Posh Development, Quora, Quorum Analytics, Rev, Riot Games, Rubrik, Stripe, SumoLogic, Terrain Data, Twitch Interactive, Ultimate Software

Apart from a few FAANG names there, all of those other companies, 80% of them in fact, will hire CS graduates from state colleges, the MIT grads at those companies will be working along state college grads, sometimes they are on different teams, for instance the MIT grad may get to work on core product development while the BU grad may work on product consulting & implementation. Both will have rewarding careers, it's a question of whether as a software engineer you wish to work on product development or not, in that case you need to acquire the skills needed to break into that, all it takes is learn the math & theory needed, which you can if you have the IQ and work ethics. If you can't then you go do consulting & implementation, work on your presentation skills and leadership skills, and one day you may be the product development manager leading the MIT grads.
