BAN USER- 0 Answers SE Payscale for New Graduates (B.S. vs Masters vs Ph.D)
What level of salary could I expect to receive right out of college for a Software Engineer position? Right now I'm working on a Masters in Computer Science, but am considering sticking around for a Ph.D before I go out into industry.

On a related note, do employers generally care whether I completed a Masters project or Masters thesis? My college gives me the option and I'm considering doing the thesis. Thanks!| Flag | PURGE
What about payscale difference? Would I generally be better off financially if I get a Phd instead of a Masters?
- SkyRenderX July 28, 2007On a related note, I'm wondering what the difference is between a Masters and PhD in Computer Science. If I get a PhD instead of a Masters, how will it affect:
*My marketability (job security, ability to land specific jobs or land jobs in general)
*Salary
I'm one year into my graduate program and am trying to decide which route to take...
Touching on nunbit_romance's comment, I'm wondering if it makes sense to get a PhD then go into software development. Would a PhD be more appealing to employers looking to fill a typical software development position? Would they be willing to pay the candidate more?
