> it's fairly common for a CS undergrad to have $100K+ in savings when they graduate. I had 1 FANG internship, 1 near-FANG internship that paid the same, and 2 not-near FANG internships. I didn't end up close to that, at all. Pretax for FANG internships is like ~$25k each on the upper end. Even if you do 4 of them you're still under $100k considering tax. Now if you go to Waterloo and do 6 FANG internships, then maybe but only if you save everything. I didn't pay for undergrad but I came out with a pretty mediocre positive net worth, unfortunately :/
