What exactly is the job? What do you do?

Lead software engineer...

Currently tech stack on the teams that are under me:

Java
Angular

SQL Server
HADOOP

You dont get on the squad unless I interview you and you get my blessing.

Interns get passes because they are placed by HR

on the cs end, i have several friends who made $100k - $140k right out of undergrad... but this was out of the ivy league + uc berkeley. heavy recruitment and ultra competitive for these positions, but they definitely do exist.

$50k - $70k starting should be the realistic expectation for a lot of grads in CS/IT, but you also can't blame a breh for trying:wow:

the ivy league shyt.. is absolutely true..one of my boys went to princeton...got his degree in economics...got a job right out of college at this life sciences firm as a consultant..6 figures off rip..been there like 12-13 years...first cat in my then 20s i knew personally that was making big money...pharmaceutical companies he did work for were kickin him bonuses that were just :wow: to me lol..now he's like i should move on but being there so long he has total job flexibility and can work remotely

shyt my first serious job out of school was being a contractor for 40K :francis:....shyt was a long road from those days lol

Oh wow, wrong poster :russ:

Thought he was @BLAZO da GAWD the animated characters all look the same to me

Stop dodging the question, why didn't you help that young breh :gucci:
Are you going to let him sit in help desk :gucci:

you cant help people that are not qualified for a position...and the fact he landed a helpdesk job let me know he was not ready for primetime....

Is it worth it to learn java/spring mvc for backend web development? Most of the jobs I see for backend want php/laravel or python/django.

I’m a lead software engineer and make 150k a year. Sounds like breh is underselling himself.

SWE out here at the big companies and competitive startups regularly earn $100-120k base (plus $20-50k signon, 10-15% bonus, and ~$100k in stock over 4 years) right out of college, but most of them come from top schools. People break in from outside of top schools (including self taught) later on once they have work experience to stand on, but I completely understand why he’d ask for that. Unfortunately you can benchmark your pay based on top tier companies in the most competitive region when you’re applying to work at OP’s off brand company :ld:

Java all day....spring is cool, but learn core java...frameworks are just a crutch
Frameworks are trash. I spent the first few week at my first job learning & configuring node & spring environment. Never used one until I graduated. We did everything manually. We couldn't even use lists or sorts unless we wrote them ourselves in our capstone class.
