[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just hired five recently CS graduates in our technology division; one from CMU, one from Northeastern, one from UCLA, one from UVA, and one from GMU.  All of them were offered the same salary at 115K/year.  In other words, the graduate from GMU makes the same salary as the graduate from CMU and Northeastern, and the cost to attend GMU is more than less than half of CMU and Northeastern.  [/quote]

$115K per year is mid to lower tier firm. High-mid to top tier firms offer $150,000-200,000/year right out of college. We need stats from these firms, not the lower level firms that hire mostly state or boot camp grads. [/quote]
Here we go again with the insane DC Urban Moms: Prestige Hunters. A kid making $115k out of college is PHENOMENAL. Truly an amazing accomplishment. We all should have been so fortunate when we graduated. But you choose to move the goalposts. "Oh yeah? Well other kids make $150-$200k out of college." Like that's normal, to be expected. As if all CMU/MIT/Stanford/Cal grads are making $150-$200k.

FYI: The median CMU computer science salary out of the school (2019, 2020) was $118,000. You can see this yourself on their outcomes dashboard:

That $115k salary is right around the median, not some poor slob underperformer at CMU.[/quote]
