How much do you expect to be paid as a Graduate?

So a lot of people will be applying for graduate schemes/jobs at this time of the year, how much do you expect to be paid in your area of work?

Those who already have jobs feel free to comment!

Depends on the job one gets.

I don't really expect anything - just whatever I'm able to land. Atm, the focus is on investment banking or top technology firms. But I may well end up in a more humble destination post-university so who knows.

So for your case- "investment banking or top technology firm". You would be expecting to earn at least 30k/year?

To be honest in my own opinion if you have no experience whatsoever, you should really expect a a low wage (at least £13,000).
If you see job adverts, most salaries nowadays are negotiable and is not affected by your degree classification. In other words, you need to prove you are worth that salary.

I've been in 3 jobs since graduating from university and have seen my pay packet increase gradually because I have proven to myself and employers that I can work hard and can learn in a quick pace.

NOTE: Please don't quote and attack me as I have my own opinions and very much entitled to them!
