My two best friends were not LDS and did not serve missions - one went to UW
the other went to Stanford, I went to BYU.
Both graduated a few years before I did, so they had a two year head start. We all landed tech jobs right out of college. UW grad was making like $80-85k, Stanford grad was making around that but got a signing bonus but he never told us how much it was. I'm also pretty sure they were making some kind of commission. I was making....$55k + quarterly bonus between $2,500-5k per quarter. We were all doing technical/sales engineering type jobs.
I was making a significantly lower salary but the funny thing was I had never felt more wealthy in my entire life. Once we all met for dinner a few months later in Seattle and we spilled the beans on how much everyone was making I felt jipped lol. I've never seen anything like this top 25 list from Stanford before. Was that really the deciding factor? That's nuts.

These numbers don't account for COL right? if all Stand-ford grads stay in SF area, of course the salary is higher
