FAGMAN pays 200-250k to new grads (well, FAANG actually, Microsoft pays like ass, but it's less funny then), and high frequency trading companies like Jane Street can break 400k (although admittedly, it's harder to get in there). Getting to about 500k within a few years is now something doable in like 6 years for anyone who can get into big tech. Even other countries like Canada aren't that far behind (like 30% lower). Until a few years ago, I thought you had to be a successful company founder, or maybe a VP to make that kind of money, but it turns out you can just be a slightly more skilled code monkey. Insane.
I thought 300k was an in joke but as it turns out, it isn't. Damn we ballin

Only works if you're in California where everything costs more anyway.
Alexander Parker
Nice meme. t CS degree seeker in the state of bumfuck Mississippi
Juan Harris
mate i dropped out second year in computer science and still got a starting remote job for 150k. shit is so cash
Matthew Ross
I'm in Canada and I'm getting 400-450k CAD, i.e. 320-350k USD (depending on whether you're counting higher first year and refreshers or refreshers). You can do full remote in US for more than that at many top companies.
Cooper Lee
You just need to do leetcode and study system design. Nobody cares about specific technologies or anything like that, besides the shittiest companies that pay a fourth of the market rate.
John Jenkins
become a data analyst. learn python and matplot and R
Lincoln Gutierrez
No job making over 200k is legitimate. You could hire someone for 100k to do your job for you, and pocket 100k.
Camden Mitchell
So what do you actually do? Hard to believe you can get that writing code.
Nathaniel Collins
or just dont be a pathetic programmer
Jason Cooper
do this
Landon Thompson
if you live in san fran 200k is barely enough for rent
Gavin Nelson
Do this don't be a retard twice You are better than any CS grad in machine learning/data mining/data analyst
Nicholas Jackson
I'm at senior level so it involves more architecture designing, talking to other teams/stakeholders, mentoring, etc., than it did on lower levels, and coding is like 30% of my time, but it's kind of the natural progression.
Either data science/machine learning engineering, or some other jobs with "scientist" in name (e.g. applied scientist, research scientist), or just pivot to pure programming anyway.
Not living there, but as far as I know, rent would be like 50k a year, still plenty to spare.
Ayden Ramirez
Machine learning is restricted almost entirely to Math degrees due to needing to have a thorough ability to reason in Vector Calculus and Linear Algebra.
Noah Gray
I only make 80$/hour but the job is so fun and chill that I don't want another higher paying job.
Jordan Hernandez
>still plenty to spare. your tax eats like 90k+ of your 200k salary in california. then rent is a fuckload and cost of living is high. and you have to share super crowded cities with basedboys and retarded homeless junkies. and the chinese and fillipino ghettos where the road signs arent even in english
