- krschultz 16y agoI graduated in my May. My friends who were CS and went to work for "normal" software companies (i.e. exclude startups, wall street, and the big guns like Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft etc) are making $50k-$65k. Those salaries were mostly in Philadelphia and Washington DC.

Just google "[school] salary statistics". For example, here's a pdf for Carnegie Mellon School of Computer science, which says last year there was a mean salary of $75k (which happens to be high compared to other universities I've seen): http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/career/students_alumni/post-grad-survey/pdf/scs.pdf http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/career/students_alumni/pos...
