My time when I grad and started to wrk was 04 or 05, the times was bad so my starting was 2k, but hopped a few jobs and 3rd job 4 yrs later was 4k. Thats in 08/09. Im sure u can do better, dont listen to agents, they just want to quickly close and earn the commission. If its a headhunter who approached you for another post, they typically try to get u the best deal.
I just spoke to someone else....this is what that person said:

- Current salary high on market side but as no commission, balances out

- asking for $3.5K without commission still ok but may not get for the future position I am applying for & current salary you are holding \


Anyway, I am still asking for $3.5K, until the situation become very jialat.....
