NOPE. Supply and demand. There is an enormous number of IT "graduates"
these days, so IMO advertised starting salaries are generally down to
what they were 15 years ago.
I posted the $15-20K one as it was offered each year for a few years.
What hasn't been mentioned yet is "industry" If you are in the pure IT
side, then "the best" can get some "spectacular" salaries, but other
industries tend not to have salaries too much above industry norm, so
the $25-20K was a dogsbody in finance as a start, but some of those
companies can reward well.
This is less than a student rate, and much less than a graduate rate.
For $25,000 stipend (or salary) per year one could continue University
and earn a Ph.D.
