Student developers were polled via 80 spring 2016 hackathons to asses how they feel about their career options. Some of the key finding were:

  1. 83% of students said they were looking for fulfilling careers, rather than simply for jobs.
  2. Students plan to stay an average of 2.9 years at their first full-time job.
  3. Students predict that they'll stay at later jobs for 5 years on average.
  4. Students expect to earn between $70–150K right out of school.

Details of the Devpost study can be found here.
