150K right out of school? I've never heard of anyone making that much in the valley, maybe 100K tops.


I've heard $130k for top students is not uncommon.


Downvoting me doesn't change the fact that I've seen offers for top CS Stanford grads for $120k for undergrad and $130k for master's, and that was a few years ago.


It's definitely not outside of the realm of possibility. I know several people at that level right out of university (undergrad)


How did they manage that? Is there some esoteric qualification that raises their value by 50-100% over other fresh graduates, or are they working at some company that happens to pay 50-100% more than Google and Facebook for fresh grads?


Salary? Sure. But if you include bonuses and other compensation that doesn't seem too far fetched for Google, Facebook, Apple and the like...


What's "Other compensation?" I don't think bonuses usually total $50K at these companies.


Bonuses + stock options + RSUs + perks can easily total $50K. Sometimes more.
