College hires are paid very competitively, especially if they have an offer from a significant competitor (Amazon, Google, Apple etc). Industry hires are not paid as competitively with top companies but still higher than most. Microsoft is rethinking its compensation strategy to attract talent in an increasingly more competitive environment. The start of this is illustrated in the special stock awards that product facing engineers received this year (in addition to normal compensation) in amounts ranging from $30,000 (for lower level employees meeting expectations) to $125,000 (for higher level employees exceeding expectations).

Lower six-figure salary is common, "high-end" developers can make mid-six-figures.
