forget about MAP. Each year they receive up to a thousand applications from local or ivy uni. they have no lack of candidates and ur pt SIM will not even get pass the HR.

and no employers will match ur pay base on your degree. Meaning, ur employer will not pay u more to do the same thing. The only way you can get a better pay is to find a new job with more responsibilities.

Also, vast majority of LOCAL uni grad gets 3-4k. NOT majority of uni grad.
