The subreddit /r/cscareerquestions hosts periodic 'salary sharing' threads, where software engineers and interns are encouraged to share the fiscal details of their offers. However, much of the data in these threads are obscured by inconsistent text formats and numerous styling issues. This is an attempt to parse the rather varied data, sanitize it, and then convert it into easily readable, visually appealing figures.
