![]() ![]() The "closer" you are to the money, the more money you tend to make. The average CS major will make more than the average marketing or finance major, but top marketing or finance majors will make more than top CS majors. I would argue that the upper-bound in CS is not high, rather that the average is the high value. Some of the top finance guys make more money than should be ethically possible. Top salesman and fund managers pull in millions per year, it's not even close. While you are right in that the curve for CS is much higher than something like accounting or education, the curve is not as high as majors like Finance or marketing. I don’t know anyone who does something and just wants to be plain break “ok”. If you want to be average that is fine, but if I want to do something I don’t shoot to be average at it. Posts like this irritate me because they have accurate data, but readers will think “oh CS pays like anything else, not worth the bother”. ![]() ![]() And if you do something be at the top of the curve. Basically you are saying “the normal curve exists guys”. Those that have passion and put in work towards their chosen field will always outperform and outearn someone who puts in the bare minimum, regardless of their major. Which isn't really surprising when the bottom 25% of engineering grads are probably unemployed or underemployed. Basically, the top 25% of Humanities majors (so called "useless majors") out-earn the bottom 25% of engineering majors. So why do CS majors think they can just show up to class, not put in effort and then land a good job?Īlways remember the "Quarter Rule" (I don't think it's called that but I read the concept before). If you are a shitty Finance/Poly-Sci/Pre-Med who puts in no effort beyond showing up to class, you wouldn't expect to succeed in your respective profession. Yes, but only a few do, and with great effort/passion/work ethic towards their chosen profession. Can a CS major get into Facebook, just like a finance major could get into Wall Street? See how those are delusional and unreasonable statements? The same applies to CS. "That pre-med is going to Harvard Medical School just because they chose biology as an undergrad major" "A Political Science major is going to receive a major political position or a prestigious post-grad teaching position just because they studied PolySci" "A Finance major is going to make millions and work on Wall Street just because they studied finance" Saying a grad is going to work for Facebook as an software Engineer making six figures just because they studied CS is like saying Who the hell said the majority of new grads made 6-figures? The only time people ever asserted this was talking about FAANG-ABCDEFG-XYZ-whatever-the-acrynom-is-now. It's a great reality check that the overwhelming majority of new grads aren't making six-figures out of school. We could always do with more help and wisdom, friend! The better the FAQ, the harder we can come down on lazy posters with low-effort OPs, which means a higher quality subreddit experience for you. Third: Search for prior posts on the subjectĬS Interview Questions Contribute to the FAQ! Second: Check the FAQ (work-in-progress, not actually useful yet, I'll remove this comment when it is) Good question! It's like this: if the question is more about college/university, it goes here if it's more about a job, it goes there if it's in between, it can go in either one.Įxamples of questions that can go in either would be, "Are college career fairs worth it?" or "What do you actually use from CS classes in real jobs?" or "Someone gave me this advice about getting an internship, is this right?"
