Student developers were polled via 80 spring 2016 hackathons to asses how they feel about their career options. Some of the key finding were:
- 83% of students said they were looking for fulfilling careers, rather than simply for jobs.
- Students plan to stay an average of 2.9 years at their first full-time job.
- Students predict that they'll stay at later jobs for 5 years on average.
- Students expect to earn between $70–150K right out of school.
Details of the Devpost study can be found here.

Well, maybe they factored in inflation by the time they'll leave school. ;-)

Does it factor what school they are from and where they plan on living? $120-150K seems reasonable for Stanford in Silicone Valley
