rocking.that.eclipse Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Just wondering if any of you guys have any experience when coming out of college knowing what to ask for your salary or benefits for your first job? Place I am working at now hires in interns in quite a bit lower than the average. Rumor from someone that has worked here for 20 years is that they are 21k below state average for level 1 engineer. They do make it up with an average bonus of 20% per year (pretty consistent over last 25 years) but that still puts me 12k short of state average. Am I looking to far into salary? The place I work now is super laid back and i really enjoy working there. With all that said I can have my father get me a job a 5K over average but it also is as strict as you can get. Other big thing for me is room to grow current company would take 10-15 years to be a leader and my father said 3 to 5 for his work.... What would you do?

Ahmed Johnson Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'd go for the higher paying job. I almost came in here and told you to take the comfortable job and make it up on side jobs but fuck that. That's a ton of money to just let go by. I also keep my easier jobs and don't worry about money loss so take my advice with a grain of salt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocking.that.eclipse Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm so wishy washy with it. I have like 3 months to decide since I'm still in school right now... and that lower paying job would have people who didn't go to college making as much as me in 2 years of working there.... I feel like 7 years of college and a real degree is worth more than a person who came out of high school and started working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts some of the guys that would work under me making more than me.... I don't think you should make more than your boss no matter how many years you've been at a company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twalker182 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm a little confused. How would guys working under you make more? And how would you be their boss if they had been there 7 years before you and already had real world experience? 2010 Accord Sedan XS D3400R Clarion HU Sundown mids and highs Incriminator amps Incriminator Lethal Injection 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty common. It's not what you know but who you know.
