Shoeb Mogal, 30, got addicted to computers when he was a kid back in India.
“I always liked the idea of developing games, I like developing websites,” he said.
So a few years ago he came to Boston to study computer science at Northeastern University. When he graduated, his skills were in demand.
“At a point, in a week, I was giving like 20 interviews,” he said.
Within two weeks, Mogal had three job offers. He now works as a software engineer for EverQuote in Kendall Square making between $140,000 and $160,000.
