100k more for a new grad? That can't be right. Five years back, the new grad offer was 90k, plus 45k of stock over four years. If they're up that much, things must be getting desperate.
- jonathankoren 10y ago2k increase per year isn't desperate. That's inflation.
- mee_too 10y ago100k more, not 100k total.
- avenoir 10y agoI'm sure $90K is a thing somewhere on the coasts. A typical starting salary around here (MO/KS) is $60-65K considering you have some internship experience. Otherwise it's usually in the mid 50s. Amazon offered $160K (bonus included).
- mabbo 10y agoI would guess the fact that most starting developer salaries are 60-65k in your city is the reason Amazon opened an office there. I moved to the Toronto office not long after I joined, and that office existed for similar reasons. Lots of talent, but generally low wages in the city. Made recruiting easy- they went from 25 people five years ago to 500+ today.
