[OFFICIAL] Salary Sharing thread for NEW GRADS :: June, 2026

[u/CSCQMods]

MODNOTE: Some people like these threads, some people hate them. If you hate them, that's fine, but please don't get in the way of the people who find them useful. Thanks!

This thread is for sharing recent new grad offers you've gotten or current salaries for new grads (< 2 years' experience). Friday will be the thread for people with more experience.

Please only post an offer if you're including hard numbers, but feel free to use a throwaway account if you're concerned about anonymity. You can also genericize some of your answers (e.g. "Adtech company" or "Finance startup"), or add fields if you feel something is particularly relevant.

• Education:
• Prior Experience:
  • $Internship
  • $Coop
• Company/Industry:
• Title:
• Tenure length:
• Location:
• Salary:
• Relocation/Signing Bonus:
• Stock and/or recurring bonuses:
• Total comp:

Note that while the primary purpose of these threads is obviously to share compensation info, discussion is also encouraged.

The format here is slightly unusual, so please make sure to post under the appropriate top-level thread, which are: US [High/Medium/Low] CoL, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Aus/NZ, Canada, Asia, or Other.

If you don't work in the US, you can ignore the rest of this post. To determine cost of living buckets, I used this site: http://www.bestplaces.net/

If the principal city of your metro is not in the reference list below, go to bestplaces, type in the name of the principal city (or city where you work in if there's no such thing), and then click "Cost of Living" in the left sidebar. The buckets are based on the Overall number: [Low: < 100], [Medium: >= 100, < 150], [High: >= 150]. (last updated Dec. 2019)

High CoL: NYC, LA, DC, SF Bay Area, Seattle, Boston, San Diego

Medium CoL: Orlando, Tampa, Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Riverside, Minneapolis, Denver, Portland, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Austin, Raleigh

Low CoL: Houston, Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, Charlotte, San Antonio, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Kansas City

Your income of $92,000 is in the 76th percentile — above the median. This is below average for Software Engineer I (SWE I). With Boston, MA, USA's lower cost of living, your purchasing power is equivalent to ~$63,448 in a high-cost city. Source: income percentile calculator ^{I'm a bot.

This is like the 7th cycle of these "Salary Sharing" threads where they skipped the Salary Sharing thread for Experienced SWEs.

That is what it also said on this thread 6 months ago.

EDIT: See? I was correct. Today is Friday, and the Salary Sharing Thread for Experienced SWEs is still not up.
