[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2024 jobs update:
After two different ivy parents' weekends, here is a summary:

95 and 98% of 2024 grads had a job when the surveys were done, both 2 months post graduation.
Average salaries were highest for Engineering majors(115k, 122k); [b]both said no slow down in hiring in CS[/b]. Overall starting salary for all majors was $87k and $89k, not including signing bonuses which averaged 12k.

This is really surprising to me.  My kid graduated from William and Mary last May (double major in CS and math), and has a good job making a little over 80K.  Many of his CS friends are just now getting jobs (or are still looking), and are not making the kind of money your schools are reporting above.  The entry-level CS market has been brutal for them.  I realize that W&M is not an Ivy, but its a very good (and well respected) school.  So I'm surprised at the differences we are seeing here.[/quote]

If the kids are working in Richmond, south or west, it could be due to salary differential. A lot of Ivy kids go to NYC. [/quote]
