It has been established that you can graduate from GMU And get hired by FAANG. That being said, not many enjoy that type of college experience and who has the long term promotability?

Troll. You are either old and are not up to date with what is going on at GMU or you are young and have never been on GMU’s five campuses. Yes, five. And you don’t know about them … especially the high tech one in Manassas for computer science and cyber security or the Seoul Korea one for computer science and cyber security-imagine graduating with a degree I. That having spent time on the Seoul campus . Those kids get to call their own shots when it comes to salaries. — signed GMU dad of Computer Science/Game Design student now working at Microsoft.


So you think OP's kid was living at home and commuting to the Korean campus of GMU?

I mean that takes commuter school to a whole new level. Good job Proud Papa.


Yep. Private jet.

OP is including the total compensation for Google at $195k while including the base salary only for her nephew/niece at $125k. Most likely the nephew/niece has a total compensation around $170k+, the difference probably due to location (or different job titles).

Anyways it's worthless to brag either way. Making such high salaries from Penn is the norm, while from GMU is not.

+1. This is along the lines of "Asian families eat dogs". Get a life!


I am an Asian male and I share my salary compensation with all my friends and colleagues so that we can negotiate a better salary with current and potential employers.

You son will be known as a commuter school graduate for the rest of his life, and your nephew a Ivy League grad.


As shallow as it may sound, it’s a social reality.
