I have one more semester of CS left and I'm about to graduate with a 6 fig job. Ask me anything fags.
why are you lying on internet
>>52039184
>6 figs
I make more than that.
>>52039235
I ain't, hipster web companies pay a lot.
>>52039238
Motherfucker, a fig is like 279 calories per cup. 6 of those is more than my usual daily intake of calories. 6 figs goes a long way my friend.
>>52039184
Can you post more of this chick? She's fine.
I graduted with a 3.94 in CS and I got a 60k/yr job after a year of working at a hardware store.
I call bullshit anon
>>52039274
>hipster web companies pay a lot.
Quite literally, in your dreams.
Web Devs are lucky to see $50k. Yet alone anything more.
And that's after decades in the field, and buckets full of certs and qualifications.
No student right out of College is going to see 6 figures.
Hell, no student will ever see 6 figures until they've been working in a field for 5-10 years.
>>52039793
Where you graduate from matters too buddy
Why do you think I care?
>>52039808
Why is that important? Why shouldn't knowledge be more important?
>>52039808
I graduated from the best university in western Canada.

Oops they're on my computer. Have this.
>>52039806
Anon, what you say isn't true. It all depends whether or not you know people and of course where you go to school and what you did in that school(not grade wise, activity wise). This chick in my shitty school got an internship at NASA this past semester and now she's coming back to finish school. Once she's done with school, she can go back and work for them full time for 6 figs. My cousins wife didn't have a job until she was 23 and fresh out of college. She makes over 100k working at a lab at some University.
It's all about what you do, who you know and where you come from.
>>52039878
>software engineering
>an actual form of engineering
lol nice try buddy you're one rung up on the coding bootcamp webdev types.
let me know when you have a professional engineering designation in your third world shithole
>>52039825
>Why shouldn't knowledge be more important?
Knowledge should be more important, but we don't live in Shouldland nigga. I passed up going to a school with a better rated CS program because the school I'm going to has better connections through alumni and job placement programs.
>>52039884
That's a trap?
>>52039878
It's arbitrary terms for position. I'm a software developer doing web work. I am a web dev, i don't give a shit, you can call me whatever just pay me enough.

Yeah be confident dude, you go to a top school. It really doesn't feel like it alot of times but you do. I used to get really psyched out since i was interviewing with kids from cmu and mit but it really doesn't matter.
Make sure you have a firm understanding of concepts from 351 and 420. 451 is really a good class too, much better than 351 since kruskal doesn't teach it. And don't worry too much taking all the hard classes or gpa, none of that shit matters just make sure get an internship and ace ur interview

If you're in an area with a lot of demand for dev jobs you don't even need a degree for six figures.
Last year, around Jan or so I broke into the industry in silicon valley. Not only was it my first formal dev job, but it was my first job *period* and they still started me out at $100k.
I recently changed jobs and jumped to $125k. By next year my experience levels will start to approach what's considered "senior" out here (which I think is bullshit but whatever) and I'll probably me able to swing $135k - $150k.
And I don't have a degree at all. I dropped out of uni after taking some art classes. I'm entirely self-taught.
TLDR: If you want a well-paid dev job don't live somewhere without a thriving tech industry
>>52040437
Doing some accelerated Comp.Sci program at my school we get a bachelors in 3 years.
This is my final year, last se!master a few of our guys landed 120k jobs at Uber for being Mexican lol.
>>52039806
until our economy went shit after the whole obama/saudi oil price thing happened, the average in norway was $74k per year, with people working within fishing and oild getting a starting wage of $140k and usually 3 weeks on the rig and then 3 weeks off. a friend of mine who was a ocean electrician ended up being 2 months on and x amount of months off and still made a million nok every year, so I'd say thats only true for poor nations like the US.

Entry web devs in NYC or SF make like 70k plus
>>52041386
But when the cost of living is high due to the fact everyone is making a lot of money, then you might as well be making 40K per year, because you'll be living the same way.

>>52041459
The rent is rough, but it has its benefits. Practically everything is walkable and the city has shitloads of neat restaurants and stuff
personally I find it far preferable to living out in the middle of nowhere and having to drive for an hour to do anything
plus it means I don't need to pour money into the black hole known as a car
>>52041395
Living at home makes things pretty nice
>>52041429
Maybe not a king but for sure you can be living comfy

I live in a 1,900ft^2 house and i only mainly use the 200ft^2 room that consists of a futon and my tech crap. My main bedroom has a queen size bed but i rarely even sleep in it. Only rooms I really use are that room, kitchen, bathroom, and garage for using the car.
What school?
>>52039891
Women can yes
But that's because employers fall over themselves to give women in programming and tech jobs
My school's can program is super small, but we're being recruited by Google. One girl has had multiple calls from them and been asked to turn in any application so they can give an offer, while I had to take multiple tests and haven't heard anything from them or heard back on any applications I've sent in

Thanks! I got a decent internship and they gave me an offer. Though realizing that I'm going to be working this 9-5 job for the majority of my life is a bit of a drag but after struggling for money for a while it is nice being able to buy games on the steam sale. I guess that's just angst

Nice, dude. How'd you swing it? Good GPA/portfolio? Sounds fun I just graduated and am working on a team adding service layers to every back of house application
>>52042180
not that guy, but to be fair 115k isnt much for that area. i got offered a job out of college for 75k and that ends up being the same if not more in actual take home cash
but whatever, its worth it because living in california is nice, i am just trying to say dont act like 115k is something super amazing when you are talking bay area
i personally dont believe you in the first place, but if its true then good luck, its good resume building at least

Just remember dude, you can always move to another job in a year or two. The market is hot, especially for devs with some experience.
>>52042179
Dude those certs are only useful for the guys that have to manage IT or sys admin. If you want to make the big bucks, you want to get into development which doesn't give a shit about those certs.
I'm not saying those certs aren't useful, just not very useful for dev jobs.
>>52042246
Most of those bootcamps have some really shitty tactics. There was one bootcamp that would artificially inflate the grad job placement rate by giving everyone in the bootcamp that didn't get an offer a job to teach at the bootcamp. I have a lot of doubt about bootcamps but you're right it does work for some people. Just be ready to put in a lot of work outside of it.

That sounds a lot better, maybe you'll do fine. It's ultimately up to you, but a degree will always be a safer option but it would take longer. In the end, if you have passion and aren't an idiot I'm sure you'll do fine.
Also, you fucks gotta get over that "why are they hiring all the women" bullshit. So they're getting hired alongside you and they're not as good. Perfect. You'll still kill them on reviews (cause your boss is still a man), and you have women to look at, talk to, and date.
>>52042362

Please, the more I think about budgeting the more I realize a 6 figure salary isn't that much.
>>52042329
>what pisses me off is i see women getting hired a lot in my area
It's only going to get happen more and more as abstraction continues to rise. This is why CS is a meem in 2015. Now it's wimin, in 10 years they'll be hiring chimps because churning out code is getting so simple.
It's getting hard to find areas of CS that maintain high difficulty and specialization levels that allow for the maintenance of job security
And I'm making several hundred thousand a year and I graduated HS with a 2.5 GPA and never went to colllege.
>>52042393
100,000 is a lot different than 500k, even 250k is a huge bump
>>52042393
Well you should think about budgeting more then. If you think enough, 6 figs is more than you could ever know what to do with. I blow my salary on stupid shit constantly, everyone thinks my rent is a ripoff, and I'm still putting away 30k/year in a 401k.
And it's not like I plan on ONLY making this much for the rest of my life. I just got a headstart on you fuckers.
>>52042393

I'm serious, I'm a pro kickboxer, my dad was an amateur kickboxer and almost made it to the olympics in taekwondo, and his friend was an amateur kickboxing champion and boxing trainer with a fairly successful boxer so I've had pretty good training since I could walk. The majority of my fights have been in China. My highest paid fights were 2 fights against cans in Dubai, oil sheiks use their oil money to pay a lot more to have their own little shows.
>>52042583
And now you spend your days posting on /g/
>>52042558
No, the problem is the term third world country is outdated. Used to be, any country aligned with the soviet block or China was a second world country, and third wolrd country were the ones that aligned with neither the soviets nor the US.
Nowadays we're better off using Developed and Underdeveloped (or if you want to be politically correct, Developing) countries.
>>52042625
We, frankly, don't have time for political correctness.
>>52042623
Kickboxing fights are at most 5 3 minute rounds and even shorter if there is a finish. I only train 2 to 3 hours a day 5 days a week, that leaves a lot of free time.
Honestly, level of competition took a pretty drastic fall in the early 2000's, most people, even if they aren't very athletic and as long as they have some sort of heart/fighting spirit, could make a living from it with 1 to 2 years of serious training.

Apply everywhere man, you're a bit late though. Should have mass spammed your resume through career4terps at the end of summer. You're still good though, spring career fair is about to come up. Although it's mostly local companies that are still looking for internships at the spring ones, still good experience. My first internship was with a little company in Rockville and I learned a lot.
>>52042864
>you're a bit late though
i'm only a first year student, but I am a semester behind as I came in undecided and declared for the spring. I'm on par wih the math reqs though and am thinking of taking 132 during the summer to catch up. OIT is hiring student workers for some java web stuff and I am thinking of applying towards the end of the spring semester because i have background with html and javascript, which they said they were looking for as well as some java...
I don't know why I am telling you this, maybe I just need some validation.
>>52042926
Haha you're fine man, we all need a bit of validation some time. I thought you were a senior or something. Just make sure you get an internship soph/junior year to set you up for your job search. Cracking the Coding Interview is a great resource for technical questions and taking 132 in the summer isn't a bad idea at all, but remember to relax and enjoy college you still have plenty of time. Have fun and go get fucked up at Corner Stone man, once you hit 200s/300s level cs courses you'll have a lot less time to go out. Sophomore year I was virtually a pothead shut-in.

And rent isn't a black hole?

Literally apply to a company and hopefully you'll get an interview.

You learn how to think in a good CS program and learn a lot of theory. CS will not ready you for the industry, remember you'll always have to learn about shit on your own. Have fun, don't be an idiot. Get internships and do well on interviews.

Are you confusing wordpress web dev from real web dev or something? The market for node/angular/Web is not right now. I see job postings for mid/senior front end devs are making like 100k+ in tech hubs and big cities
100k isn't a lot in CA or NYC. 70-75k in tech hub centers like RTP and Austin is more than 100k in San Francisco and Manhattan.

Yep, this. I just dropped applications in as many places as I could and hoped for the best. It definitely helps if you've got stuff on Github you can show off and mention on your resume, as does having stuff out in an app store or up on the web.
It's a slog, but it pays off. After a couple weeks of spamming applications the calls and emails started rolling in. For about a month I was doing 2-4 calls per day and at least a couple in-persons per week. Towards the end of the month I got a call back from one of the places that I did an onsite interview with, and surprise, they like me and want to offer me a position!
So yeah, put in effort and you'll be rewarded.

At least it's all in one lump and won't sneak up on you like car costs will.

Take those COL calculators with a grain of salt. You'll be paying more in rent and food but there's no question you'll be stashing away more money in those areas if you budget well. Price of goods like laptops are the same no matter where you go.

Canada has literally the worst pay for developers among the western countries. Good job being born in a shithole

I pay less than $700 In an apartment that would cost $1,500 in NYC and eat at restaurants for less than $30-50 that would cost $100-150. I save a crap ton of money and live like a king making over 75k in a place where the average is 30-40k or less. COL have a lot of merit to them.
>>52051546
Yeah they definitely have merit. You're totally right that you can have a higher quality of life in the low cost areas but you could get an shithole with roommates in the bay area for 700 and just never eat out and you'd save more money in the long run.
I just don't like people using those calculators as a direct wage conversion between different areas.
>>52051586
You could do this or that. Point is I am top % in my city. In order to have the same quality of living in CA or NYC I'd have to make over 120k. Potentially 150k or more depending on bonus e etc.
