So seeing as this polls the whole SF Bay software engineering community of HN, young and old, and the distribution is centered around 120k-129k, can we finally put to rest the ever-perpetuated claim that the average CS grad can expect $150k+ in the Bay?

This is just the base pay though. Total pay could indeed exceed 150k

The net pay will be lesser considering the taxes.

Yes, $150k is high. But I know my company has given several $100k offers to new grads.
