<prompt> Human: So I got an offer as a very entry level programmer in Florida for 30K. How reasonable is this? This is my first big boy job ever, but I feel insulted. I have a B.S. in engineering making things as vague as possible without revealing my identity with a 3.5 GPA. I was shocked when I saw the number, since I had the feeling that they really wanted me my impressive resume, called me a genius at one point, etc. Im kind of desperate for a job at this point since Im having terrible luck securing a full-time job even remotely related to what I studied in school. Theyve only given me a day to respond, which also seem a little shady and way too rushed. Checking on glassdoor, Im finding numbers to be way higher than mine although the job titles are a little vague so I dont know if theyre referring to the job title theyve given me. I was so happy a while ago when I received the offer, but upon looking at the numbers, I dont know what Im feeling at this point. A little insulted even though I know its not personal, its just business, a little shock, and a little fear that I might be passing on an opportunity if I make the wrong move. We didnt even talk salary during the interviews; can someone tell me if this is even normal? It wasnt brought up with the team leads or the hiring managers. Should I have asked what the compensation was? What should I do now? Fight back? What do I say? Or just stay silent and accept the offer? Anyone know the average salary for programmers in Florida?Thanks, guys.  <response>: I graduated a few years ago. Took me two months to find a job felt like forever! and it was a very low offer just over 20k.... I took it because it was a job. A year later I was in a new position making over double and two years on from that Ive increased my salary by over a third more. If youre having trouble finding a job, take what you can get, but dont be satisfied!
