[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The above poster doesn't have the whole picture. At some big companies hiring for lucrative positions, firms have guideposts about taking the top 50% of students at the top 10 schools, top 25 at the top 50, and take only the top of the class from the rest.

My VT CS grad has multiple offers and his first job was a result of an internship with a starting salary at a cyber security company of 110k. He’s one year in and his first stock options have just vested.

I’m very glad he was sensible and went to a state school. [b]Can’t imagine MIT would have yielded better results.[/b] Absolutely no ROI in paying 200k more for an undergrad.[/quote]
Just FYI, my recent MIT graduate got a first year package of $650k fresh out of college. Not saying, it applies to every MIT graduates but there were a handful of them who got a similar package the same year.[/quote]

Doing what?  I highly  doubt that he got that.  [/quote]
Quantitative research for a quant trading firm/hedge fund. Think about firms like Citadel, Jane Street, Hudson River Trading.[/quote]

Sell out. What a waste.[/quote]

Somebody is jealous!

I don't think it is jealousy to be upset that our best and brightest are going into careers that contribute nothing to society, rather than engineering or science of health or something that could possibly improve peoples lives in some way.[/quote]
