[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College admission is stupid.

This kid was on the front page of Washington Post with the secretary of defense in 2016, and he did not get into CMU or his top choices.  Now he is an L6 at Google.

Yield protection, at a whole new level, literally!

OP, wondering why you think this kid needs college? Any college?

He is now an L6 ($500k-$600k).  If I understand OP correctly, he started as an L4, whic h would be $227k-$327k. Is this why all the parents who know their kids can not make it as a doctor or a lawyer want them to be CS? They think all those kids are going to FAANG?  Isn't that as much of a lottery as college admissions, if not, more? [/quote]

Not a lottery, because they only care about the skills they interview for, not building an orchestra or keeping the tenured History professor busy.

That tenured History professor probably has a bestselling book or Documentary on Netflix. Way more famous than anyone is the CS DEPT[/quote]
