Depends on where you live. In SV, sure, but they have the highest cost of living in the world.
In Dallas, a fresh out of college CS grad can probably expect a salary in the lower 40s. And the cost of living is cheap enough you can afford a house on that.
- CoachRufus87 10y agoWhere in DFW can you purchase a nice home on 40k?
- amyjess 10y agoI'm talking about renting, not purchasing.
- mywittyname 10y agoThat's a sad salary. Especially when moving a few hours away to San Antonio will yield a 20k+/yr salary increase. Even if housing in Dallas were free, it's still better to move from a financial perspective.
- mklim 10y agoReally? That seems weirdly low, even with a lower COL taken into a account. In Southeast Michigan a new grad would expect to start somewhere around 60, and that's enough to buy a decent to huge house depending on where you end up living.
