That's..really low. FB has around that many, Google has like 50k, and from what I've heard Amazon has about the same number or more.
Considering that everyone I know got >= $100k base out of undergrad regardless of location I don't think it's as uncommon as you would think anymore.
- howard941 8y ago>= $100K outside of a major city for a green undergrad doesn't seem typical. Do you hang with grads from big name schools?
- akhilcacharya 8y agoNo, but I know a lot of those too.

- dullgiulio 8y agoWell, Google has offices around the world. In their Warsaw office, for example, the normal salary is definitely way below $100k.

- shereadsthenews 8y agoTVCs at Google are not writing software. They are making sandwiches.
- drdeadringer 8y agoPersonal, professional, and direct experience informs me otherwise.
- mrep 8y agoNo, they have about 100,000 full time employees of which about 50% are engineers. They have another ~100,000 TVC's
