Google, Facebook Battle For Computer Science Grads. Salaries Soar.

I'm confused about this whole situation. Why exactly are new grads dying to go to work at Facebook? Google at least creates interesting and serious technology, while Facebook makes a pretty uninteresting webpage.

I can at least confirm that a year ago, Google's base salary for starting engineers was in the reported range, some 25% short of this year's alleged number. Seems like a big jump.

I guess it's a good time to be graduating.

Sometimes i wish i hadn't gone to business school :-\

That's whats up.
