KV - Was the salary you were offered what you had in mind? Is it more or less than what you were previously making? What was your target?

people from my school coming out with a BS in Comp Sci range from $50-70k with a few outliers on either side. mine was right in the middle @ $65k

Apparently spelling isn't a requirement in Comp Sci.

sampson, hah, i have NOTHING to do with that site! i never touched one line of code on it, that's someone else

sygyzy, i was hoping for 55+, preferably 62, but when they made the offer of 53,500 i was like okay. that's al il low, but higher than what they start people off at. i was able to negotiate the bonus and that made me happier, i found it to be acceptable. because of what the company offers in way of school, and distance, and environment, i wouldn't have rejected the offer, but now i am happy that i got the offer because of the extra money

neovan, you should get sirius and start listening to howard to make your drive much less painful! trust me

schfifty,

hero, it's US, canada doesn't count


thanks all!

rudee, i don't consider talking on an internet forum to be a place where i would make sure that my spelling is up to par. actually, it's more typos than spelling because my spelling is usually impecable, as well as my grammar.

astaroth, i'm outside of baltimore, and i come from a state university, not an ivy league like cornell

[KidViciou$]
