how much can one realistically expect to make with a CS degree?

>literally caring about money if you got a solid degree.
Fucking degenerates. Pls kys.
Money is just useless shit and as long as you don't have to struggle to pay your fixcosts, which you prolly can with a CS degree, you are fine

>>62362340
>realistically
Realistically, expect nothing. Degrees are a meme.

>>62362340
>Internships: None
McJob it is then

>>62362340
How'd you go 4 years without an internship?

>>62362430
got too into gaming and my anxiety prevented me from applying anywhere.

sorry, all jobs require job experience which you can't have without itself

yah sorry go back to school and this time remember the fuckin internship ya dip

>>62362447
too lazy to do it?

6 figures if you work at a tech company. Since you have no internships you will either have to nail interviews, be good, or work a couple jobs for less than 100k before you get there. Asking questions like this on /g/ is pretty retarded because you get answers like the ones before mine.

If you can do anything more than CRUD apps and don't leave a sweat silhouette on your chair in an interview you will start out at 60-70k in any reasonably sized city and go up from there. No one gives a fuck about your internships but you better have a portfolio.

If you have an interesting specialty like embedded, distributed systems, or low level graphics, you can start pretty close to six figures.

If you have a decent portfolio, open source commits on household name projects, and can sleepwalk through all the CTCI shit, go for the big leagues at a VC-backed company and you will get six figures total comp for sure.

I earn 3.5k every two weeks working for a bank. In a third world country

>>62362340
While you were wasting your time gaming, Nguyen and Patel kids took all the jobs.

>>62362340
Depends on you're geolocation and gender you identify with.

>>62362507
Same difference

>>62362340
How about me

Location: South Dakota
School: Public Uni
Internships: Daktronics, NSA Research

>>62362474
Why the fuck do people on g always talk about 100k entry jobs? Is this normal in murica?
In germoney you won't get to a 100k€ without a whole lot of luck (or you are self-employed)

>>62362507
3.5k USD or PHP? That's insane either way

>>62362532
USD and I dont even do a lot work

>>62362521
get the fuck out of South Dakota and you'll do fine

>>62362521
>Location: South Dakota
probably a lot if you're willing to move to tech hubs.
How's the market in SD?

>>62362340
Make some open source projects on github, or contribute to some existing ones then add your github to your resume as experience.

>>62362526
you guys traded equity comp for unions, how's that working out?

>>62362340
I make ~40k which is not much, but the job comes with perks

lol a bit of a shift for you, there.

>>62362548
Well I don't need a 100k tbqh. Living Safe and having awesome healthcare is better imo

>>62362542
>>62362543
Was planning to move to somewhere like Seattle because this place kinda sucks for anything that isn't being a doctor.

In terms of tech, it's pretty much like we are stuck 10 years in the past, but for other things this place is crazy for the amount of money coming through here.

>>62362564
True. Got the Dak internship when I was a freshman and worked there for a few years. Helps that the NSA likes my Uni.

>>62362471
yeah basically.
>>62362546
how would I put open source projects on my resume

>>62362597
>how would I put open source projects on my resume
he gave you step by step directions in the post you quoted fuccboi

>>62362586
Honestly if you want to stay in SD/ND switch to an EE degree and work oil and gas on site. Way more money than software.

>>62362340

>no internships

you have personal projects at least though right?

>>62362565
>Living safe
>Being overrun, killed and rapes by peace-loving "refugees"
Hmmm...

Should've gotten some internship, that's how I got my full-time offer. Would have probably been pretty hard to prove myself otherwise since I had nothing big to put on my resume.

Your best bet now is to just apply to a bunch of companies, I think the hardest part will be getting the interviews.

>>62362586
If you're interested in doing similar shit to your agency internship look at some beltway contractors, if you got your clearances from the internship you could make 150+ easily

>>62362680
"""overrun"""

PS: I am a white male, I won't get raped. Maybe killed, but that won't bother me after I got killed.

>>62362362
Muh nigga. The correlation between money and happiness peaks at around $70k US per year.

I just got my full time offer in San Francisco to start when I graduate next year. Total comp including equity is over $200k. Go to a shitty school, have a couple of tiny start up internships, but have some decent personal projects. Main thing that got me the job was having a friend refer me for the interviews, after that it was just proving that I am competent.

>>62362340
>California

You'll "make" $90,000/yr easy but that's only because the cost of living where you are is so high that you'll realistically be living closer to $50,000-60,000.

>>62362526
In California and other big cities, you make six figures and that's enough to almost not be poor. In other parts of the country that makes you kinda upperclass.

>>62362340
CS degree here. Top grade. NEET for 10 years since graduating.

So, no money at all.

>larping: the post

Good luck getting any job above minimum wage. You might be worse off with a degree and no internships than with no degree; it makes it look like there's something wrong with you

N-no internships here yet either after 3 years... feels bad desu. Only now getting my shit together and building a resume and going to the career fair and looking for clothes with collars and gay shit like that.

I DO have a bunch of personal projects, at least. Will--will I be okay, guise?

Fairly small ones I did over the summer like doing some whacky stuff for a math major friend's research in Java and generally fucking around in C and Node.js. No graphics or GUIs or DBs or any of that GOOD SHIT™; classes only teach useless shit like how to use emacs and implement a multithreaded console program in C.

This.
People who talk about 100k entry level jobs are NEETs who have no idea what they are talking about.
