Hi Reddit.
I just graduated college but I really want a job. I want to get my own place. Right now I’m looking for salaries in the 85-90 range. But I’ve been finding jobs that are significantly lower around 60-65k. I know if I waited longer, I could get a higher salary, but I don’t want to be jobless for too long. It’s starting to get cold and I need my own place to have friends over to warm me up ;).
I have some questions:
- Would you guys take a low salary when you are starting off your career?
- how would you negotiate when you know the salary is now in what you expect?
-should I just buckle down and only stay in my range? Even if it takes longer to get a job?
Any advice helps!
