Who is getting 185k with just a BS from MIT?


I'm in New York, where the SWE landscape is a combination of traditional big tech companies and finance companies. The latter will pay you a lot, but at the cost of working you to death for it. Finance is not a good field for anyone who wants a life outside of work. The tech companies seem to do much better with work/life balance.


Search for the "2015 Bachelor’s Industry & Employer Data" to see salary range by industry. It seems like it must be from one of the companies in the "Investment Banking" section.
