Salary for a new Ph.D (computer science) in the bay area?
I’ll be completing a Ph.D in computer science (specifically, information retrieval and content analysis) and am looking for jobs in the bay area in this domain, e.g., Google/Yahoo/MSFT/IBM. I have a decent publication track, a few years of SW engineering experience prior to grad school, and good references.
What is the payment range I am looking at? What are reasonable benefits to expect?
Thanks!!
I have a Bachelors in Business Administration. I am averaging $9.00 an hour. I hold two licenses and went through one downsizing. Truck drivers without a high school diploma are making $40,000 a year +. You should be commanding $100,000 a year. Will you get it? I don’t know. These days, getting a job depends on many factors: 1) Who do you know? 2.) What is your experience, and 3.) Can you perform/produce results? Education is somewhere in this mix. If you think your education is going to put you in the multi-millionaire category all by itself, you might be in for an awakening.. Best wishes.
