To command any salary, you need to be able bring in value to the employer that exceed the salary you are commanding

For a fresh grad who have no experience and no proven track record and probably still learning the rope for the 1st 2 years. Do you think he can bring in more than 80K pa of value

As yourself honestly, if you are employer paying salary using your own money, will you pay 80K to a fresh grad (even an oxford one) with no experience

On this basis I say 80k is overpaid.
That's the theory, Alec. It actually depends on whether she is pretty enough and whether she's able to convince the interviewer or hiring manager that she's worth the 80k or 100k. And there are managers who think with other body parts apart from the brain.
