This visualization compares early career pay against mid career pay for the top eight universities by mid-career salary, with circle size representing absolute salary growth and color encoding the university’s state. Data is loaded as CSV from a GitHub repository via `d3.csv`, then filtered, sorted, and sliced. The SVG chart uses `d3.scaleLinear` for both axes, `d3.scaleSqrt` for bubble size, and `d3.scaleOrdinal` for categorical state colors, rendered through D3 v7 with axes, tick formatting, and an interactive tooltip.
