Curious what your estimate of a 50th and a 99th percentile developer salary is for a new grad? And do you mean a 50th percentile CMU grad, or a 50th percentile

Curious what your estimate of a 50th and a 99th percentile developer salary is for a new grad? And do you mean a 50th percentile CMU grad, or a 50th percentile CMU grad developer, or just overall?
- stale2002 10y agoPerhaps I exaggerate with the 99 percentile number, but the people I know who work at a top(high paying) company like Uber or Jane Street will get something like 150k easy (and maybe a signing bonus), and Palantir is more middle of the road with 100k base salary or less, and stock options of dubious value.
- dreaminvm 10y agoAre you saying 150k salaries for new grads or total comp? ASAIK, Goog/Uber/FB starting salaries are closer to 110k base with $40-50k RSUs vesting per year (refreshes each year), performance bonus 10-15% salary and sometimes a generous signing bonus.
