What kind of starting salary should I ask for with a BBA in Computer Information Systems?

Category: Technology

x xx x


I am a fresh graduate of a top 100 university with my bachelors in business administration majoring in computer information systems. I am also network+ certified and looking for employment in networking or the technical support field as a starting point. I have recently looked up statistics and found a national survey at:

http://www.career.vt.edu/jobsearc/salaries/NACESurvey.htm

So based on these figures I would expect for it to be reasonable to start out at around 45K. Am I setting my goals too high? I mean most jobs I see in the field seem to be around the 35k range.

In the current recession and economic down turn with addition to lay-offs, don't rate urself being fresh just get the job and after experience and market stability you'll know your worth.

Clearly market forces are at work here.

The economy in most western cultures has taken a big hit in last 18 months.

Before I read your additional information I had 40K in my head.

Perhaps you will have to accept 35K but look for hidden extras like Health Care subsidies.

Also look for a clause where you can expect an automatic salary review after 6 months as an example
