2/9     Hey, I got offered a position at a large consulting company
        as a manager.  They want to pay 120k.  Is that good?  How
        much do other managers at the big 5 make?  I graduated
        from Cal in '96.
        \_ i graduated from cal in '97 and i am already being paid 120k.
        \_ Damn, I think I need to be looking for a new job...
           \_ I dropped out from cal. The startup I was in was bought.
              I'm a millionaire.
                \_ furthermore, I have more money, so I am a better person
                   and a happier person. Money is everything.
                   \_ Well, I have wheelbarrows full of money and a
                      *HUGE* penis.  Chicks dig me.  So there.
                        \_ Ah, so you're an even better person. Congrats.
                      \_ You have a huge penis in a wheelbarrow? you're
                         some sicko.
                      \_ I have 5 sheets of acid.
        \_ I graduated from cal in '93 and I am still only making 80K. :-(
           \_ It's okay. This guy is going to hate his job and/or company
              really quickly. I hope it's not Arthur Andersen... --dim
           \_ Dammit, I'm running behind. need that yearly eval now...
           \_ 120k? 80k? 1M? Uh, time for me to look for a new job!
        \_ Congratulations!  That's an exceptional offer for *any* recent
           college grad -- so congrats whether or not you to decide to
           take it. --chris
        \_ Managers make that much in the Big5.  Do you really want to make the
           transition from individual contributorship to management?  It's
           a tough ride (get some training), and being a manager isn't all
           that fun, either.  You have to take it from both ends, and keep
           your sanity all at once.  And...your glory is not really your
           own...but something you receive vicariously through your staff.
