If you get into graduate schemes, the pay is more or less fixed with no negotiations necessary.

Else, it’s always reasonable to bargain for $3,125/month as the bare minimum you would go as a fresh grad regardless of which industry you break into. Reason? Traineeships offer an allowance of $2,500, it would be irrational to take up an offer lower than the readily available alternative.

Time may seem bleak but you’ll get a job eventually.
I’m a local uni fresh grad too.
