> 300k for a new grad is not something I've heard of, that's a tad high even for phds.

300K-ish total comp is a typical starting package at the big tech companies now. 150-160K base salary, 30K bonus target, and 100K stock grant maturing per year gets you to that ballpark.

At which company? I work at one of the big companies and undergrads come in at around 150k and phds around 250k. Facebook will give 100k signing bonuses to their top interns but that's a 1 time bonus so it shouldn't be factored into your yearly total compensation.

Well, a lot changed in the couple of years since I've helped students with the process.

Good for those kids.

FWIW it's still fair to say these aren't normal. Plenty of students from top schools don't get offers from the top cos.
