<p>Sakky,</p>
<p>You keep mentioning high-finance, where probably less than 10% on engineering majors go into. Also here is the link on the salaries:</p>
<p>[Goldman</a> Sachs Salaries | Glassdoor.com](<a href=“http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Goldman-Sachs-Salaries-E2800.htm]Goldman”>http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Goldman-Sachs-Salaries-E2800.htm)</p>
<p>Outside of that Vice President position, the pay is not really that rewarding GIVEN ALL it takes just to get into the field.</p>
<p>I myself review resumes of Java developers with 5 years experience from 2+2 engineering programs (non Top-10) and they can get 6 figures…and don’t really have to “outdo” everything and everyone. I think one has to add in the stress and long-hours factor before we mention high-finance like it is some highly accessible industry.</p>
