If you want to start working for a big technology company and are looking for the best salary, Microsoft might be one of your best opportunities. In a newly published survey from Payscale.com, Microsoft reportedly offers an average of $91,500 a year for a new employee at the start of his or her career. That's second on the survey's list of tech companies and only NVIDIA was higher at $99,400. By contrast, Google has a starting median pay of $87,500, while Intel is listed with a $80,500 salary for new employees. Apple is second to last on the list for starting median pay at just $49,100 a year.
So, Apple gives squat to chartity, is the lead client of Foxconn (worker revolt, suicides, explosions), pays Americans horribly, and has never made the Ethisphere list, fixes prices and wages and supresses skilled worker mobility. But when faced with another NYT expose, they rush out a raise their retail staff pay $2/hr "because they care", and the media creams over this headline. LOL.
Style over substance - the very core of Apple.
