I recently recieved my degree from New England Tech and I have an interview with G-Tech tomorrow and I'm not sure what to ask for a wage I was thinking of asking for $20 an hour and going from there. What is my degree worth?
What is an associates degree in computer science worth?
Depends upon the position and the market in your area. I live in Pittsburgh, which is a very tough market (multiple universities churning out CS and IS graduates and very few jobs). For an Associates degree, you're looking at around $8 - $10 per hour here if you're lucky. I have my MS and am at less than $20, but that's partially by choice since I work for a university (and my boss said he interviewed 56 people for this position). Still, $25 to $30 is average for an MS in this market.
You could try checking job postings at monster.com and dice.com to get a feel for what's average in your market.
Reply:From what I hear, the market for CSE majors is through the roof at the moment and you should ask for a lot.
