G'day,
Anybody know the ball park for grad programmers these days in Sydney?
I'm not sure, it would totally depend on experience, and skills,
and not all graduates are made the same, but maybe ~$50k.
No graduate is worth $50K.
$30K if you have some experience at programming at Uni.
This is the base salary graduates start with 15 years ago, in at least
two Companies
I know. So, graduates base salary now should be higher than this. 15
years is a lot
of years in the IT industry.
A number of companies put graduate recruites through a rigorous training
regime of from 3 to
6 months. This is all around training including programming.
We must realize, once a graduate or anyone starts working, his/her
salary is reviewed
every six months, in these two Companies I know. It is not unusual that
graduates
double their starting salary before their 2nd year anniversary in
those Companies.
For employees who are worth the writings on paper they hold on
even achieved
much higher salaries.
So, it really depends on the employee himself/herself, rather than being
a graduate by itself.
