I just graduated this past weekend and my boss from my internship offered me a job as a graphic designer. He told me to come up with my "salary demands" and to let him know. Since I have never been in this position before I was wondering what others think of this, or if anyone had any similar experience? What do you think a reasonable salary demand is?

Re: What salary to ask for?
Never been in a position like this and I may be totally wrong. If I were you I'd do some research and find out what the average salary is for graphic designers is then ask for $2,500-$5,000 more then the average. You may not get that much but it seems like a good starting point for negotiations.I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

Re: What salary to ask for?
Too many variables. Check salary.com to give you an idea. You could then go up or down from the base pay based on the benefits you receive. Sometimes you may be making less, but the benefits make up for it, so you end up actually making more than other people who have a higher base salary.Comment
