It's probably just a rounding error

• j7ake 9y ago
  150000 / year for fresh graduate versus 30000/year for fresh PhD student is not a rounding error.

    How to you end up making only 30000/year with a PhD in a subject where graduates make 150k? Even post-doc positions tend to pay more than that. Everybody I know that has a STEM PhD and went into industry earns a lot more than I do.

  • varjag 9y ago
    150K isn't anywhere near the stated "most programmers".

      Sorry you're right I was thinking of salary of Stanford undergraduate first job in Bay Area versus stanford PhD student .
