Abstract

As many companies are going digital in their operations and many startups are driven by software solutions instead of focusing on physical infrastructure, the demand for coding jobs has increased across the globe as it is the programming that drives computer systems. From transport and food to healthcare everything became Information Technology dependent. We can also observe that there is a wide popularity for programming courses, as the coding skills from those courses might fetch high paying jobs. Students who are pursuing their masters in information technology must be good in coding as it will get them a high paying job after graduation. Nowadays many graduate international IT major students are looking for a job in the software industry, which would bring them a high salaried job. Whereas the jobs in the software industries require a candidate with good programming skills, who will play a major role in the growth and development of their company. This study will determine the impact of coding proficiency of IT major international graduate students at Pittsburg State University, as measured by students Grade in GRT-713 (Computer Programming Languages) on their starting annual salaries after their graduation when they enter the job market. Graduate International Information Technology major students who studied at PSU and have recently entered the job market are included in this study with a sample size of 100 students. In this study, a correlational design is used to establish the relationship between grades in GRT-713 and starting annual salaries.
