Something seems wrong with that number. Unless Glassdoor and other salary sites are complete off, engineers aren't making that much.

Apple for example for 1-3 years experience.

Why does that cause a pit in your stomach? I love knowing that, as an Amazon intern.

Because I have trouble wrapping my head around $150k straight out of college, even after we've set aside the outliers.

I don't think it'll be that high? I'm not sure. I've heard closer to $130k.
