Then when it came to programming skills, most knew how to code in C but had never compiled a Linux kernel from source (is Arduino all they teach in schools these days?) I'm amazed.

Anyway, back to your question, I think 5k is reasonable but of course, you have to let us employers know why you deserve it (not just because you graduated from computer science).

s/n: if you're just comfortable with some basic html/css/javascript programming, I strongly suggest you to relook at your career
