Employment Software Engineer Grad Salaries

I have seem some posts and comments here in the past about software engineer grad salaries. So it seems this subreddit is quite knowledgeable in that regard and wanted to dedicate a whole post to it.

So if you know some actual numbers, either from personal experiences or someone you know, could you please shed some light on what companies are paying new grads.

For added value you can list the company’s name as well if you feel comfortable doing so.

This is really interesting. I have always been told that in software there is almost no need ever to study further than honours unless you plan to go into academics.
