Different department, different salary
I was working for IBM as an intern student From last July to this Octomber (more than 1 year). I planed to stay there, as IBM really provides a flexible and friendly working place, though its salary was a little less than others’.
A good friend of mine who is a PHD also received and accepted the offer from IBM. I asked him to help me to check the salary for Master at the offer briefing event. He asked several Master guys and told me that the range is about X000 – X500 ( I am sorry, but I have to conceal the actual number due to the privacy things) . Two days after the briefing event, I received the official offer letter from IBM, and was vey amazing to find that my salary is 500 less than X000. I asked other intern students in our department, they were given the same number, 500 less than X000. We realized that proabably different department will have different salary. I was kind of depressed and I was not sure if I need to working for this department, Now, I am writting this post and decide to leave IBM not for the 500 bucks but I think we are not much recognized.
I wiil come to office next Monday, and will say goodbye to Christine, Karik and all you guys I was working with for more than 1 years. I love you all, I enjoy the time with you. And I really appreciate all the helps and trusts from you.
