Seems comparable to other top slacs? [/quote]

You can always ask if they will share some data on earnings by major with you. College-wide earning comparisons are truly idiotic. A CS major or Econ major at Pomona is going to do quite well but lots of students go into lower earning fields or choose less lucrative majors unlike at Harvey Mudd or MIT. I know multiple large tech companies recruit from Pomona (and other LACs like Amherst, Swarthmore, and Williams). Remember that the founders of KKR (the top or one of the top few private equity firms) went to Claremont McKenna and Swarthmore for undergrad.[/quote]

+1 It's all major/field dependent. I don't see any specific breakdown for Pomona (probably not enough data available to disclose publicly), but Williams (overall salary 71.6K) has 99K for CS grads and 91K for econ grads. Schools that have more finance/tech oriented types will naturally do better. [/quote]
