Graduate salary

[WillyNelson]

I'm not a graduate but I beat the 'average'. \o/

You also need to factor in the scores more people gaining low grade degrees from low grade 'universities' who just aren't able to command the better salaries.

28k here but that's working big 4 in London, people from the regions at my firm are on quite a bit less.

£25k average sounds about right for the graduates I know. My boyfriend graduated in June with a Chemical Engineering degree, and the lowest salary for a graduate job in his class was £22k with the highest being around £36k.

Anyone who gets with one of the companies mentioned in the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers guide will, on average be on slightly more than £25,000 I'd have said.

I'll be graduating on £20,500 (if I get a 2.1) which is around £28,000 in London salary.

started on 24k in 2007, two pay rises in the first year but we've basically been told no pay rises this year for anyone (even though company pre-tax profit doubled in 2008 )

Get an engineering degree and then either go offshore or work 12 hour days .

30k.

It really does depend on what university to some extent, most of my friends went into working as actuaries, auditors, analysts etc (the 3 a's! (no not really the 3 As i made that up, but it is 3 A's!))

I was asked by a company I do some casual work for to come on full time as a technical person as they are expanding quite a lot.

He asked how much I wanted to be paid and I panic and said around 20k, wish this thread was here a week or so ago, would have said 25k is the average.

Still 20 is better than 0 so cant complain too much.

I saw on the news the other day that the average graduate salary is still stuck at the 2008 rate of 25k due to the down turn. It got me thinking though, I do not know anyone who left uni and actually started on that salary. I got a graduate placement and managed to get 22k, but it took me another year and half to get to the average graduate salary of 25k! anyone here been lucky enough to leave uni and walk into a average graduate salary?

Borich

Tesco's graduate scheme is circa 25k.

[Schnippzle]

With the NHS and have just been offered a job for 17.3k Third line tech support f t w!

 

[Chris1712]

I'd say the average is probably around 24k in reality. Most of the placement opportunities before i've graduated are at least 16k and graduate offers range from 22k-28k really, with obviously some higher ones in london and with banks.
