Hi Guys , I’ve recently been offered a role as an associate software engineer for one of the big 4 banks and the pay is $60,000 with 2-3 days WFM. They are hiring me with the purpose of developing me and training me and hiring me with no direct experience. They seemed to like my attitude. My background is financial technology with field service and support. Do you think I should try to negotiate or just take it?

Definitely negotiate - even an entry level call centre role would pay around $68k

Yes, mate, and a sparky in the mines in WA starts at 6 figures. That's not a particularly strong reason to negotiate a salary.

I'm not saying they shouldn't, but that's largely irrelevant.

Qualifications and skills that are relevant and comparing to dominate jobs is the main factor there. The fact that entry level SWEs are earning closer to 90k is a better reason to negotiate.

I also experienced a similar thing where I’m getting 65k for graduate position. At first I thought it was decent compared to other positions but I’m at the stage now where I don’t know what is the norm

That's weirdly low for a SWE role. What's your previous experience? Qualifications?

No previous engineering experience only Helpdesk and field service. And 0 qualifications and I also said I would be okay with that amount during the interview which I am just was wondering if low but yeah no experience or qualifications gonna train me completely not to mention WFM 2-3 days a week
