Insulting?What's the language being hired for? Where are you based ? I know of a place (not in Dublin) that are getting away with paying €20k to grads....Insulting, innit!?
Insulting?
Graduate programmers are generally liabilities for at least the first couple of years. The companies are effectively training them.
Bear in mind that many graduates (especially those who went into college straight from school) may not value additional benefits like pension, life cover etc. as much as hard cash! In my opinion Complainer's comment is the most appropriate - what value will the prospective employee bring to the company and how much are you prepared to pay for this added value?I want to offer a fair salary, but there are other non-salary related benefits that the company can offer as sweetner, but once I know what the going rate is I think I can take it from there
Hi - I'm planning to make an offer to a software engineer who is just about to graduate. Up to now, all positions have been filled off-shore so now beginning to add staff here. However I'm not sure of the appropriate rates - I just don't trust the recruitment sites as they seem to vary like crazy. I want to offer a fair salary, but there are other non-salary related benefits that the company can offer as sweetner, but once I know what the going rate is I think I can take it from there
If the person enjoys programming and did computer science because they like it, not because it will give them a job, I would pay them 28k.
If they are the type of person who did computer science by mistake, or because they didn't know what else to do, I wouldn't waste my time hiring them.
There are so many crap software developers out there. In my experience they're waaaay more likely to be crap if they are they "did computers by accident" sort.
