<p>This is what some UMich CS grads make:</p>

<p>"very generally, the best compensation package I've been offered is within the range of 125000 to 150000, minimum. The location is not NYC. I probably won't be more specific than that, for the sake of my own privacy. I know of two other people with similar offers (+- few thousand), and was mainly wondering how common these numbers are for a Michigan engineering grad."

<p>While I obviously can’t speak as to what that poster (KenLewis) was offered, or claims to have been offered, here are the typical salaries for Michigan. </p>

<p>[Michigan</a> Engineering | 2009-2010 Salary Information](<a href=“http://career.engin.umich.edu/salary/20092010.html]Michigan”>http://career.engin.umich.edu/salary/20092010.html)</p>

<p>KenLewis was saying that he suspected that people who got big salaries didn’t report back so the average salary might be low than he thinks it should be.</p>

<p>Then it would be the same for both schools. Which makes the averages still somewhat accurate…</p>

<p>Actually, I suspect the opposite is true: people getting low salaries seem to be more likely not to report their salaries than are people earning high salaries. Think about it: if the best job offer you can get is some mediocre position for mediocre pay, you’re probably not exactly champing at the bit to announce that fact. Generally speaking, those people who fare poorly in their career search are probably the least likely to respond to surveys from the university career office. Hence, if anything the reported average/median salaries are probably too high.</p>

<p>^That does seem to make more sense to me too.</p>
