What subject and what kind of summer jobs? DH is a tenured professor making 130k for the nine month contract, but somehow he makes only 25-30k over the summer by some gigs.... would you share some tips to increase outside income?

Thanks!


Untenured prof; 150K 9-month; ~30-50k summer depending on grant awards. Will start consulting IF I make tenure. Rates ~300-500/hr in my industry for not-too-famous people.


What Industry is that and how old are you?

No, it’s extremely rare for a new CS graduate to start at 100k. Maybe the top 2-4%.


Here are the companies offering more than $100k for a newly CS graduate from uva: yelp, appian, capital one, disney, microsoft, amazon, google, etc...both my kids have such offers and said their friends had similar offers last/this year.

How did you get into SW exec role


Joined a startup as one of the first 10 employees and was eventually acquired


What was backup planning startup failed; I’ve looked at plenty but the high risk of flaming out and not making rent was dicey for us.


I was young, unmarried, no kids


Uh, when I was young unmarried and no kids I still needed to pay rent (and student loans)...
