What is considered a good graduate salary?

Huh, had no idea they paid that much in Switzerland. It doesn’t detract from the fact that they don’t in the U.K. though

They do.

No. They. Don't.

The mean salary for a Software Engineer at Google in London is £61,210, those with little to no experience don't even earn remotely close to this.

Other monetary considerations ie. cash bonus, stock options are not to ever be considered as part of the salary, they are merely additional compensation.

Alright Ian, we've had this discussion before. I really cba arguing.

Don't post fiction then?

Yeah, i'll call my buddies up and tell them that they're lying to me about their own offer letters.

because ofc IanVG knows all and relies on glassdoor over hard numbers to argue

Hello fellow members of TSR, I was wondering what you would consider to be a good graduate salary.

I’ve read that the average graduate salary is 21k. So what would you consider to be good. 25k ? 28k ? 30k? 40k?

It's actual evidence instead of hearsay?

Still waiting since the last time this came up for you to provide conclusive evidence to the contrary, until then, it's conjecture provided by a student, living in a deluded fantasy.

It's not hearsay, I've literally seen the offer letters with my own eyes. Why would I lie?

Just because you're not used to seeing such high starting compensation packages doesn't mean they don't exist. Ignorance begets more ignorance.

Wow, it’s so depressing seeing your passion as the lowest earning job.

£21,000-£85,000.

Hope this helps.

I can see why people want evidence from you when you say that the salary of a grad software engineer at google is so high in comparison to all other places (in the uk) for grad software engineers, especially when the only evidence online that is easily found says you are wrong (though note that the salary on glass door is just as credible (or not so) as you saying they get X salary imo)

Just saying you have seen offer letters to someone over the internet means nothing, so you should expect to be challenged to produce some form evidence.

What if someone on the internet told you that the base salary at an investment bank for the analyst grad scheme was 2-3 times higher than the average and you couldnt find evidence confirming or denying it, would you want that person to produce some form proof?

I appreciate the skepticism but being accused of lying and living in a "dream world" is most certainly disrespectful. I've already had a pretty lengthy discussion with the other poster describing how the compensation breaks down for a typical offer at companies like Google - which, is information you can only really get if you know people with offers.

If someone said there is a firm paying way above average comp for banking, I'd believe it because I know of the type of firms they're talking about. Hell, there's actually one that pays almost 2.5x typical comp at other banks - but they're an outlier.
