If you study at a good university, and learn useful things while you study, and build cool things in your spare time, then you will have no problem finding a job. The company I work for routinely pays £100k+ ($160k+) per year to fresh computer science grads if they're really good.
- Alan01252 14y agoI find this figure hard to accept. £100k+ a year for a developer with no experience? I've been doing software development for a while now, and know more than a few developers, and I guarantee you not one of them started on anywhere near £100k a year. £100k a year is around what I know experienced contractual developers earn working for big Canary Wharf banks. If this is true, then please let me know the name of the company and I'll apply right now.
- crntaylor 14y agoThat number includes bonus - but it's certainly accurate. These guys might have no commercial experience, but they certainly have plenty of programming experience (and are typically top 1 or 2 in their year at university). I've emailed you the name of the company using the contact form on your website. We look forward to your application!
- Alan01252 14y agoWell you've successfully called my bluff.... Unfortunately I have no particular interest in that industry, and more importantly, if I'm honest, wouldn't have a chance of getting through the application stage.
- njs12345 14y agoReally? Even my friends (from Cambridge) who went into finance aren't earning nearly that much in base salary. Is that including bonuses and other benefits?
- crntaylor 14y agoIt's including bonus, but no other benefits.
