Yep FB offers undergrads from some universities 100-120k, plus 50-100k signing bonus, plus $100-125k in stocks from what I've heard.



100k signing bonus? FB really gives an entire years salary upfront?


Yes. I believe you have to stay a year to keep the bonus, but everyone I know who graduated from Stanford last year was offered >100k salary, 100k signing bonus, and some stock (I think per year the stock was about 25k at current market value).

Even non-CS majors. If they studied a quantitative field, can code, and cleared the dev interview, they got that offer.


Yes they do. I believe for new-grads it was 50k if you were not an intern previously, and 100k if you were.

You have to stay a full year at the company otherwise you have to pay it back. But yes, it is all upfront; cash.


Those numbers, in general, are high. You might get that if you get them into a bidding war.

In general, a publicly traded company is not going to give that kind of package to an undergrad. Maybe $110-120k in salary, but the stock amount is more likely to be around $80k vesting over 4 years.


100k-ish stock vesting over 4 years is pretty standard among the big SV companies for new grads. It can be a lot more though if you're not a new graduate.


I don't think anyone else gives $100k signing bonus, so yes the numbers aren't representative of the whole but it hints at what an undergraduate can command out of college.

I'd say $100k salary is very typical, as are the RSUs (vesting over 4 years as you said).


...vesting over 4 years

Would be alot different than 100k "signing bonus", more sane tho.


not for new grad, but I've seen up to 400k in stock given, pretty amazing..
