In terms of pay? Like 50-60k minimum imo, but after a year or two you can get a significantly higher offer. What do you think has stopped you from finding a role before graduating?

50-60 maybe if your in very low cost of living area and only with an undergrad degree. This person has a masters so that would 100% be selling himself short.

Starting salaries will be dependent on location and industry. On average you can expect high $70s to low 80s. This is best I can offer without knowing specifics.

I think this is the most reasonable answer, but OP the market is pretty hot so you should be good!

$60 to 70k assuming you can find a job.

Perhaps an unpaid internship to help you get some experience? You could reach out to a local company and see if you could build out an internship to help them.

^ especially with a masters

Depending on location and company size, I'd say somewhere in the 70s would be reasonable. If not, it'd be a little lower during a probation period, with opp to bump pay with proven competency. Especially at a startup

Hi Everyone,
I have a query. Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but let me just ask it here.
I have completed my B.Tech. on 2020 and got a job in an MNC with a 3.8LPA, but due to COVID, the onboarding was delayed to Feb 2021. During this time, I had enrolled myself for a distance M.Tech. degree.
I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?
