Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The data comes from hundreds of publicly available online sources. This includes data from publicly posted resumes, social media updates, company data, employment databases, and more. For more on Steppingblocks data, check out their Data FAQ page.
The salaries represented here are for entry-level positions from three years after graduation. At times, this can include assistantships as part of a graduate or professional program – which are often less than a full-time professional position. For information about graduate outcomes after 5 – 10 years after graduation, please visit our UC Alumni at Work page.
The data is updated annually and includes undergraduate alumni within 3 years of graduation.
Since an estimated 20% of undergraduate students pursue graduate education, you can find information about graduate degree attainment on our UC Alumni Graduate Degree Outcomes page.
