As a graduating student in San Diego Area, what would a respectable salary be for working in an architecture firm with a year and a half of work experience? They are currently offering 25/hr.

The firm is a smaller place and does not offer 401k, but includes 5% PTO

Would it be better to look elsewhere for a higher pay? Or stay for the hands on work experience with lower pay?

4hr of PTO every 2 weeks is pretty standard for entry level. 52k a year without 401k matching? I’d keep looking for better opportunities. Are you fixed on staying in San Diego, or are you opened to relocation?

Open to relocation, but worried working at a another firm with higher pay will not give me the training needed to level up faster than staying at a smaller firm

Probably more than that
