So you've graduated and got your first job, what do you consider a good starting salary for this job?

[blinkbelle]

Anything in excess of £20k..

[Lilrascal19]

24k

[matinthehat]

£1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000

I will work for nothing less

[goldsilvy]

£28,000.

[ScrubZ]

20-25k, 30k in London.

[GodspeedGehenna]

~£24k

[vitamortis]

£18k+

[Planto]

£20k+ seems entirely reasonable as a graduate salary. Bear in mind that most graduates are fairly useless to begin with. It's the potential to advance that matters.

[Moa]

at least 40k+

[carlylwright]

The way things are going at the moment - anything.

This.

[Casse]

£20k plus

[sunspoon]

35k+ if you're in London.

[marieisfab]

Around about £20k+, though right now a job's a job.

[icx]

£25k

[FieldLeftBlank]

£25k should work.

[spex]

40k. Analyst at an investment bank.

[out of the blue]

in times gone by I feel that the majority of the above answers (over 20k) would have been very appropriate.

However nowadays having a degree is not viewed as anything particularly special. So many people have degrees now that to be set apart from the rest and get the jobs that pay enough you have to have something more. Especially in todays current job climate. There are so many graduates without a job purely because they fell now they have a degree they should be paid anything 20k and over and won't take anything less.

When job searching don't over value yourself anything is good at the moment.

ahhhh sorry to be the cynic in this thread!

Pfft, pocket change.

(I'd say £20k+ as others have said - one of my friends started on £18k, another on £25k and another on £28k all in the same line of work but at different companies, so YMMV)
