I have recently graduated from college and got offered a job as a client executive at a PR firm, that I previously interned in. They offered me a lower than expected salary. What salary would yous think this job should get??

Just take the job. At the intro stage, you do not have much leverage to counter with. It is not easy to get started in PR, and remember to push for a big raise in a year.

Thank you !

Ask for at least $50k

Depending on market, 40-50K

Depends on location but even nyc agencies only pay 40-50k entry level

$50k minimum

$40K-$45K wouldn't be out of the norm at a mid-sized agency.
