I would suggest you to join a high starting pay job; ie those abt 4k one as your 1st job...after 3-5 years, then jump ship to another company and request eg 20% more when jump ship....and continue from there...

If you take up the 2.9k job, next time you jump ship will have a disadvantage..

It is simple math:
Assume no promotion in the company after 3 years, with 4% annual increment:
2900 x 1.04^3 = 3262 >>> jump ship 20% more = 3914
4000 x 1.04^3 = 4499 >>> jump ship 20% more = 5398

see the difference!!!
Totally agree. Don't settle for less than $10k for your first job.
