This is an entry level software engineer position:

https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Google-Software-Engineer-II-San-Jose-Salaries-EJI_IE9079.0,6_KO7,27_IL.28,36_IM761.htm

Glassdoor says 144k in total comp.  I assure you that glassdoor is always a little low, maybe because they include multiple trailing years without accounting for growth.

Software Engineer II isn't entry level; not unless Google defines things in a weird and different way than other places... Software Engineer I would be entry level. II would be around 3 years experience.

I started a fresh out of undergrad software engineer position 1 year, 3 months ago, at 20$ an hour plus like 5$ an hour in benefits.

Bam, data.

I didn't negotiate super hard and live somewhere where my rent is 400/mo but if 160k entry level is normal in any sense of the word i need to save a few paychecks and order some cyanide.

I started out of dropping out of high school, in 1985. I was so excited to get a programming job that I forgot to say anything about salary (note my incredible greed). They did not miss this and so I started at $4.25 an hour.

It's possible that you just suck at being greedy.

I think your Greed is indeed incredible, it's my second favorite of yours.

He has the best greed. Other people's greed is loser greed. His greed always wins.

Donald is a great man, a good friend. He has the best greed, real American greed, can't beat that greed. When I am president, he will get all the best greedy deals with other countries, very important man, very good.

I think a lot of the skills to be good at Dominion are similar skills to writing passable software. It's a certain kind of algorithmic and structured thinking that seems to predispose somebody to either or both things.

Not a professional programmer, though I'm considering some kind of early career change and going into software because writing scripts and looking at code is by far the most enjoyable part of my work so far.

I graduated with a CS degree 2 years ago and started at 60k. I probably could have made more if I had gone into the public sector, but I pretty much kept the job I got as a student at the university.

I'm starting my physics degree in less than a month, and I already do a lot of programming.

For current physicists: I admire what you do.

For perspective physicists: beware that your career path will start to get narrower and narrower once you are into graduate school. The sad thing is that you can't really learn all that much physics without at least trying for a PhD for a couple of years.

(This is from a ex-postdoc in theoretical physics.)

I don't think playing dominion is like programming all that much. Programming (messy things aside) is like, thinking about the best way for the computer to do things. Playing Dominion is like actually doing those calculations. Yeah developing a good framework to think about it (especially if the rules are heuristic) will be a good first step; but to really be good there still needs to be calculations and that's how simulators are handy if we want to be really good.

Designing a good board game, on the other hand, I think have more in common with designing a good program. And lots of extra.

Getting a math degree instead if a full-blown cs degree probably costs me about 5k

I definitely should have gone into industry rather than (ancillary) academia; all of these salaries except Donald's are higher than any salary I've ever had.

Yes but then who would be here to make me feel better about shaving the edge off of my earning potential when I flipflopped my Math/CS major/minor? Donald made a smash hit board game, he's no help.

me?  I work at Dairy Queen.
I have a BA, but I made the stupid choice of majoring in music, which is made all the more stupid in my case because I'm not even a musician. I minored in English. An english major doesn't provide high paying career paths as easily as others mentioned here, but it would've been better than music.

I have dabbled in a little in hacky programming when I made my own variant of a roguelike computer game, but I'm far from being a good enough programmer to get paid for it.

You don't actually have to be a programmer at all to get paid for being a programmer, I'm learning.  There's lots of coattail surfing routes and the like.  They probably don't result in huge pensions.  But it's pretty ironic at times.
