I graduated with a CS degree and the offers in my peer group were pitiful. TXDOT, USAA, Defense Contractors etc. The best companies were Visa and Intel, back in 2013. It’s definitely not a place where you can hop around every 2 years working for big brand names on the coolest tech (read: Java). A higher-end salary is 70-90k with maybe an ESPP vs a 300k package on the West Coast. I’m definitely eager to go back but damn every time I check whoshiring it’s deflating.
