Right? I like the one from amznnewgrad: $90k base as a new grad and "needless to say" they declined the offer. Needless to say?
I was hired after a year out of college in 2010 at aboyt $37k and it felt like I hit the lottery. Granted, where I live costs much less than Seattle, and I also make significantly more now, but still not $90k.
Yes "needless to say." I was paid a little bit more than the annual equivalent of 90k when I was an intern in SV at both a large tech company (that you've heard of), and a well-funded startup.
