Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday April 20, 2004 @11:58AM from the is-this-job-offering-me-enough dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I will be graduating from college in May with a degree in computer science. I have begun the job search and gone on a few interviews. So far I have gotten two job offers which I am thankful for, but the salary seems low. I am not saying that I am too good to pay my dues and work my way up, but I could make more waiting tables. It is somewhat distressing that I have spent 4 years of college and years before that developing my programming skills. I am not trying to get rich, but I was hoping that the high level of skill required would account for something(no offense intended to waiters). Can anyone give me any insight about what a reasonable starting salary would be, for an entry level software engineer?"

You may find Salary.Com useful. I find it useful when trying to determine median salaries.

Dollars or Rupees?
