"Bansi Shah, 23, picked up her undergraduate diploma, then took a job at Lattice Engines, a small San Mateo startup, where she makes “near the top” of the company’s $80,000 to $130,000 range for an entry level product manager, plus equity"

Is this the norm in silicon valley, entry level positions making close to 130k plus equity? If this is the exception great!, but where does someone go from there? If right out of school your making 130k, does that mean your going to make 200k after 6 years?

According to glass door, of the people who submitted salaries from Lattice, no one has salary of close to 130k of base income. So she definitely seems like an exception.

It must be awkward though having your co-workers know approximately what you make now. I would be uncomfortable.

Article requires a little bit sensationalism.

Would people bite if they knew that Bansi had a master degree, amazing internships, smart, and has made incredible accomplishments?

Translation: she's probably top 1%. Not the norm/average.

Pretty sure that's the exception. She actually has a Masters degree as well, so I think that line is pretty misleading. $130k is still high for an entry level product manager though I think.

Lattice Engines doesn't make engines. It's just another fluffy dotcom.
