Data10:
The positions also appear to be rarely taken among top/elite CS majors, average CS majors, or any other grouping of CS majors. I previously mentioned 3.6% of CS majors at Brown took jobs at companies in the financial sector. The percentage remained approximately the same when averaged across the full 3 year period. The most common job titles of these rare few CS majors working at financial sector companies during the 3 year period were as follows. Colleges that are top ranked in CS with public post graduation reports follow a similar pattern. The CS percentage in this small subsection of financial sector are too low to have much relevance to long term earning by college major, which was the point of this thread.

First of all, the data you were referring to are from a few years ago and backward looking. Secondly, Brown isn’t a target school for fintech jobs, so that data isn’t even relevant.
