"Imposter syndrome" or more accurately "confidence in ability" is a very big problem at my university since the software engineering and computer science programs are so competitive. It's the 1st or 2nd most competitive program in all of Canada.
For last year's graduating software engineering class:
The median salary was 120k USD plus 23k USD in stock/options and 29k USD signing bonus.
The average salary was 155k USD plus 70k USD in stock/options and 46k USD signing bonus.
No student graduated without a job, with only 6% earning less than 80k USD (75th percentile of individual income in the USA), and nearly half in the 90th percentile.
That said, it would be interesting to see how confidence in ability changed over the years from freshman to graduating classes.
