Entry Level Game Industry Salaries

An anonymous reader writes "Game Tycoon has posted some informal information about entry-level salaries for students entering the video game industry." From the article: "Students who applied for engineering jobs seem to be getting offers in the 70s -- in some cases, the high 70s. The same students got offers approximately 10K higher from companies in other industries; i.e. Oracle, Microsoft, etc. So the gap between game company offers and non-game company offers appears to be narrowing for engineers. In general, I was amazed at how high the offers were!"

Re:What about Quality Assurance?

Straight up? A janitor needs to be able to empty the small trashcans into his big trashcan and then empty the big trashcan into the dumpster... Given the quality of the code which comes out of most development teams I'd say that a QA guy does the same thing.
