Is 130k realistic for someone with less than 2 years of not just experience but total exposure? I'm not aware of any market supporting that sort of value propos

  Depends where you live... where I live, that is a lot. Makes me want to move but my family is here

  I generally take things which sound to good to be true with a pinch of salt. No exception here.

  YMMV. I don't expect everyone to get 130k TC, but that has been the case so far. A few things that helps: 1. Content must be lean. Learn foundations. 2. Really drill down those foundations. 3. Work experience: most of a student's journey is actually working together as a team to build / launch products. I role play as a project manager and run weekly sprints. 4. Relevant Technologies: I work as an engineering lead during the day, I make sure student's work experience covers all of industry trends (currently: GraphQL, React, Apollo Client)

    In what way did you determine that GraphQL and React are industry trends? Isn't GraphQL a fairly niche solution to relatively uncommon problems that benefit from using a graph database?

      > Isn't GraphQL a fairly niche solution Everyone around me seems to be implementing a GraphQl layer, and most of them don't have a graph database. I'm still not even sure what the `Graph` means in `GraphQl`. Here's an overview of how Airbnb uses GraphQL: https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/how-airbnb-is-moving-10x-faster-at-scale-with-graphql-and-apollo-aa4ec92d69e2 https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/how-airbnb-is-moving-1...
