Google, Facebook Battle For Computer Science Grads. Salaries Soar.
- dmp 19y agoI'm confused about this whole situation. Why exactly are new grads dying to go to work at Facebook? Google at least creates interesting and serious technology, while Facebook makes a pretty uninteresting webpage.
- pchristensen 19y agoFacebook is pre-IPO so even if it is boring, there's a chance to cash out big time later. Googlers no longer have that option.
- aston 19y agoFacebook is also a really young company that apparently is putting up the big bucks and Google-esque perks. Why not go there and risk winning big while it's still around?
- imsteve 19y agoThat's whats up.
- mikelikespie 19y agoI guess it's a good time to be graduating.
- aston 19y agoI can at least confirm that a year ago, Google's base salary for starting engineers was in the reported range, some 25% short of this year's alleged number. Seems like a big jump.
