"top student out of a top college" doesn't exactly describe a lot of individuals (10? 15?), which makes that compensation value an extreme outlier.

- argonaut 12y agoAllow me to revise that to "top student at a decent school." (School is actually less important). I would say it describes >200 people every year (take the top 5-10% of Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, MIT, CMU, Princeton, UPenn, UT Austin, Caltech, a couple others, and then maybe the top 2-5% at UCLA, UCSD, CU-Boulder, dozens more schools.
