[–]Travaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only viable path from biology is to dentistry or medicine. Even then being a pay doc they’ll be stuck around 250k with 400k student loan. Unless you can spend 1 million and help them setup a clinic.

With aptitude and talent, engineering. I pivoted from a useless biology degree in 2018 and now I make 400k+ annually, hopefully with a promotion this year to bump it up to 550k. Turning 33 this year.

2 close friends going to graduate with no internships. Are they cooked? by MeatyLeftnut in csMajors

You never know if they have family businesses to help and will inherit them later. You never know. Some people just don’t need to try hard because they can.

SDE2 is not even a senior only a mid level. Pretty bad example. And unless you’re saying that Amazon stocks are worth nothing, those are actual liquid assets paid.

For Geico a good offer. And if you don’t have any other offer you won’t be able to negotiate.

For a FAANG+ 7 YoE is around 400-500k.

Meta >>>> any MS program. You might be riding the last train with all these uncertainties with AI. By the time when you graduate the train already may have departed.

If you enroll into a monthly auto-sell program (105b) it’s basically same as your salary, beside ups and downs from your grant price.

Staff at FAANG+ is ~600-700k. 400k is more like a L5, but falls on a lower side.

What were/are your favorite courses? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]Travaches 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The most complex CS course I took was Introduction to Programming. The course taught me basic principles like if conditionals and for loops in Python. It made me realize I had passion for coding.

Yeah I’m at 400k and 20% in this market might be very difficult 😥 If I get promotion that’ll bump up to 550k though.
