Maybe I am just lucky but I have worked for 2 of the major big tech companies and came out of college making 100k+ while primarily working 40 hour weeks at both.
> 75% (45/60) of 150k
Tesla new grad software engineer total comp is 150k? Damn, in that case they are pretty close with big tech (amazon is 145k and G/FB is 165k from what I have heard). I assumed it was lower since my brother was a PM with 6 YOE and got payed 130k a year.
> That’s damn fine compensation for someone fresh out of undergrad even in 2018.
Oh totally, my girlfriend is probably going to make like 60k out of grad school. However, while it is much better than anyone besides what my finance friends are making, that does not mean they are paying well relative to the tech industry.
Sorry if I was being unclear. I have no inside knowledge and just wanted to throw some numbers out there so we didn't continue to talk past each other. If Tesla is paying $120k to fresh CS grads and expecting them to work 60 hour weeks, I'm still not sure I'd say they were "paying peanuts" but it's at least getting there.
