Hello, I have received an offer from Southwest Airlines as a Associate Technology Analyst with their direct college hire program. Will be graduating in May with a degree in MIS and also have internships experience as a Business Systems analyst intern. The salary compensation started off at 66,500 but was looking for the 75k range and they got back to me saying the best they can do is 68,500. They also have a 401k company match up to 9.3%. Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?

I think thats a pretty good salary right out of school and that's the highest 401K match I've ever seen (most companies are 3-6% 401k match). If you want a little more comp your first year, maybe ask if they'll give you like a $5k signing bonus. Then stick around for a year or two, get some out of college experience and negotiate a higher salary in your next role :)

That’s a decent starting salary, is the area hcol ?

Yea that was my salary as a new grad. Granted there are people who start off making a lot more but as long as you think you will learn a lot and you don’t have any better offers I’d say accept it

Thats a good income

Tbh, it’s on the lower end for a MIS, but good overall especially for a remote role. Nothing wrong with accepting it and continue to interview to see if you get higher offers.

Are you still active?
