No graduate is worth $50K. $30K if you have some experience at programming at Uni. $40K if you got good marks specifically with the languages that they want $45K if you have great marks and specific knowledge, understanding of the processes and can demonstrate it in an interview. More if you have: - skills, a WELL WRITTEN program of more than about 10 pages. - Worked in a company with references - Worked in a FOSS project and can demonstrate your input, ie real experience not reading the mailing list. - Can show a fair dinkum understanding of networking, what is a port, an IP, how name resolution works, what might break an application in the network layer, how you would fix it. - Can demonstrate the ability to problem solve AND work with others to solve problem. Nothing more annoying than a programmer that struggles with a problem for a week and does not ask for help. Note: The above really shows industry experience so it is more than 'graduate programmer'.
