Meet Raj, a 24-year-old recent graduate from the University of Waterloo's Mathematics faculty. Growing up in a multicultural family that emphasized the value of education, Raj pursued a career in data science. After landing several internships through Waterloo's co-op program, he’s now working in a tech startup environment. Having researched salary expectations for his field, Raj feels compelled to clear up misconceptions around earnings, particularly dispelling the notion that six-figure salaries are standard right out of school. He's passionate about creating realistic expectations for students entering the workforce.
