<p>EE’s have a mean wage between $93-98k, excluding CompE’s who are at $107k. CS is a little harder to pin down, ranging from ~$81-104k with most sitting right at $93k… the same as the bottom end of EE’s.</p>
<p>So perhaps not a big difference on average, but with a wider variation for programmers depending on the actual title.</p>
